Empire - Contents and Double page spread analysis
Empire is a film Magazine, this means that it will have a very small select audience - People interested in films. Also, empire is quite a expensive Magazine, therefore it suggests that the readers are going to be fans of the Magazine. The colour scheme, which can be seen through out the contents and Double page spread, is clearly: Black, white and red. The red colour has a dramatic contrast against the black and white, this means that what ever is in red stands out and there for emphasis' whatever the red font is.
In the contents page Matt Smith is the main image - they also keep in with the colour scheme because of black and white effect the editor has done also keeps in with the colour scheme and therefore has a greater visual impact on the audience. The picture will also be one of the main stories in the Magazine.
The contents page has a large banner going across the top with a white, thinner copy of the letter inside the bold red one. This type of front gives the contents page a old cinema feel and therefore connecting with Magazine's topic and theme. Also, alone the back in very small, yet clean and simple text is the Magazine's logo.The contents each have a small description underneath each page title. This is because the readers will be interested in the articles contents.
The Double page spread is the feature article of the issue. The James Bond images are stacked up in a neat, formal way, that looks fairly modern. The text columns, three on each page, stick to the traditional style and also stick with the colour scheme, the house colours : Black, White and Red, especially on the captions on the photos that are in white. There are also red subheadings to break up the text, though there is lots of it since the audience of the article are going to be very interested in the article not just the photos.
