In most of the front covers of empire magazine, they usually have the main character taking up the majority

of the cover. This draws your attention to the magazine as you notice the character almost immediately.

Also in both covers, the characters head covers the title. This also draws more attention to the character as nothing is blocking the characters face

Also in both covers, the background surrounding the main character is relevant to the actual film. For example the chest of Iron Man is in an electric blue color, this style also continues to the title of the magazine and makes it effective

In each issue of the magazine, the font and size of the title is the same, but it is a relevant color to the film being reviewed. However the font size and colour changes for the title of the movie giving the magazine more variation in each issue.

The title of the movie in both covers is the second largest text on the cover. This draws attention to the movie the magazine is reviewing, but it doesn t draw much attention from the name of the magazine.

In both covers, the extra parts of the magazine are included but they are placed in different areas and they are all in different styles. This gives some variation to each issue of the magazine and does not make it too repetitive.
