Option 2 - Magazine

I did some research on what kind of film magazines are on the market today and i was lucky and came across the magazine Empire.
Empire is a British film magazine published monthly by Bauer Consumer Media.
Bauer i have looked at before last year and is really surprised that they publish this magazine as we went on the Bauer website and it had no reignition of Empire on its site at all. 

I love the fron covers of the magazine, i got some examples to look at and they are really powerful, all three covers base there design around the theme of the upcoming new movie, for example with Iron Man 2 the name Empire, has electric bolts coming off of it like Iron Man, and the second magazine cover, the title is written in red to signify blood as Robert Pattinson is Edward Cullen who is a vampire, and then finally you have Hellboy 2, he is supposed to be from Hell, and everyones interpretations of hell always seems to come down to lava and fire and i really like how they interpreted that with the title of the magazine, the text is on fire. The use of colour and text is really powerful and really eye-catching. Lynsay also wanted to create our film poster so she has also done a lot of research on film magazines.
