The front cover image for this magazine is effective as it is bold and dramatic and stands out to the audience.
The use of the dark background in comparison to the bright title and light in his suit in the image creates an eye-catching contrast for the image. The lightning surrounding the title is effective as it represents one of his powers and the destruction that might be seen in the film. The overall title effect links the magazine to the film and creates a unique feature for Empire magazine. The bright white is effective in attracting an audience as it almost looks as though it is an actual light in the magazine.
The red and gold are the classic Iron Man colours, and this attracts an established audience to the magazine. The bold head-on pose of the character shows determination and hints at the nature of the film. Having the main character in the middle of the cover makes the film look striking and exciting. It makes people want to pick up the magazine as the image is so vivid and eye-catching.
The title of the film is not as reflective as the magazine title, but the font and colour make it stand out as bold and strong - similar to the character in the film. The slogan beneath the title, "New Suit. New Enemies. Same Attitude.", shows that although it is the same character, the film is going to be very different. This slogan entices people as they want to see who the new enemies are and what the new suit is like. The use of the language in the top left-hand corner, "All hail the King of 2010" expresses just how big they expected the film to be when it came out. This shows their feature on the film as exclusive - something that will also entice the audience to read it.
The use of secondary images at the bottom show the extra features in the magazine without taking away from the main image. The emphasis is very much on the Iron Man 2 film feature, as it has a pre-existing audience to attract, but the secondary features also entice a larger audience to view the magazine.
