Analysis of Magazine Front Cover - Empire - Captain America

The background allows everything on the cover stand out because even though they have used the American flag to relate to the film, but have darkened the image to allow the text to stand out.

Having 'magazine of the year' above the mast head, it would be the first thing people see, if they were looking at a magazine rack.

Mast Head - Being in a bold font it stands out, as well as being white it stands out on top of the darker background. 

Cover image - They have placed the image on top of the mast head. even though the background behind the image is dark, they have added a shadow to the image to make the main character of the film stand out even more. 

Cover line - Telling you the title of the film which is the main feature article of the film. The bold font makes it stand out on the page as well as the size of the font making it attract the readers eye straight away. What gets the readers attention is because of where they have placed the cover line, with it being directly placed in the centre of the page.

The tagline 'how summers biggest superhero went to war' 

Puffs - 'meet Marvel's first avenger' stands out on the page with it being placed in a yellow circle.

Plugs - They tell you what else is in the magazine as well as the main article. 

The banner at the bottom of the magazine tells you about a special magazine inside of the main magazine telling you about the latest sci-fi films.
