The main image is of Daniel Craig in his role of James Bond. Daniel is captured in a very serious pose to emphasise the role he is playing. The editor cleverly included gunshots on the front cover to create an image where it looks as if James Bond has been shot at. The gunshots also work very well because Daniel has a gun in his hand.

The magazine will appeal to a film loving audience as the main focus of the magazine is James bond as there is a picture of Daniel Craig on the front and there is a subtitle saying “50 YEARS OF BOND!”. Also there is a picture to the left of Daniel advertising the new Avengers film and there is a picture to the right of Daniel advertising the new Anchorman film. The magazine will appeal to a male audience as empire’s main audience is males but the film’s that are highlighted in the article are designed for a male audience.

The main stand out colour on the magazine is red. Red is a symbol of power so the colour relates to James Bond as he is the most powerful secret agent in the world.

The subtitles on the front cover advertise that there is going to be more than 1 film in the magazine. This will attract readers as they may not be interested in the main film but the other articles may be about films a reader enjoys watching.

The title is written in red and written in bold, block capitals to make the magazine stand out. The title is written like this because the public may notice the magazine due to the bright colour of the title.

The main image is of Cara Delevingne during a modelling shoot. She is captured in a serious pose which may be relatable to the teenage generation. The editor contrasts the colours of blue red to make the background interesting.

The use of the colour blue makes the magazine stand out as it is a vibrant colour. Blue is relevant as it is the colour of Cara’s eyes so it is cleverly used by the editor.

The subtitles are all relevant to the cover girl as they are all about modelling or fashion and Cara is a fashion model.
