On the front cover of this Film Magazine 'Empire' We can see a large picture of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe). This implies that the main content of the magazine is about the film Harry Potter. The shot type used is a medium close up, this allows the audience to see his facial features and expression very clearly. We can clearly see the blood and cuts on his face suggesting that the film involves violence and could be rated for an older audience like teenagers. As the background of the picture of Harry is low key lit, the white and red text really stand out - especially the red of the title. The red title also carries connotations of the blood and violence that is displayed in the film and the cuts on Harrys face.
I like the layout of the magazine as it is done neatly and is quite simple as it includes very few images and not too much text. Another reason why we know the film is violent is that as a little sub heading for the main story it says "Harry comes out fighting".
This film magazine is called 'Total Film' and the main storyline of it is James Bond. We can tell this as he is on the front and it is a mid shot picture of him, also it says 'BOND' in big silver letters underneath the image of him.. We can tell which James Bond film it is by the sign on the building in the background as it says 'Casino Royale'. I think this magazine would look better without the grey border around it. However the text probably stands out more on the border. I like how they've stuck to the three colour rule and how they have included simple and easy to read fonts.
