This cover is from Empire magazine. Empire is a mainstream film publication. In this edition of empire the first thing that stands out is the dominant central image, which is of Hellboy, who is a recognisable character, another thing that stands out is the colour, the bright red and orange must be eye catching while browsing for a magazine, another aspect of the front cover is the font, what's clever about the font is that it matches the theme and character of Hellboy which is the cover story of this edition. The layout is quite simple with the mast head at the top, the image is central and the reference to content running down the side. The masthead is also slightly covered by the central image of Hellboy which makes it seem even more immersive to the viewer, as if Hellboy is coming out the magazine cover. It also includes a banner saying "first look", this suggests that there is something exclusive in this issue of empire, this may make the magazine more desirable for buyers.
