The title of the film stands out on this cover as it is the brightest colour on the page. The lime green helps to draw the eyes of the audience. This bright colour contrasts the rest of the cover as it is quite dark and gloomy. This, as well as the magazine title written in blood, suggests the film is going to be dangerous.
The colour red connotes danger and blood. This colour is used to highlight certain words and phrases, as well as the main magazine title. The green used is bright and exciting and entices people to pick it up and have a look.
The use of the image of the main character in the forefront of the cover is effective as the audience can see who the character is and get an idea of the story line - shown through his superhero-looking costume and the blood on his face. The pose also suggests that it is an action film. The drawings of the characters behind also suggest that these characters are equally as important to the storyline
Having the title written as if it were in blood makes the magazine different as it is trying to create an effect to match the nature of the film. This is something unique to Empire Magazine as it does this on other covers. It is effective as the audience are drawn to it being different, yet having parts of the title covered, shows that it is quite popular and not the main thing the audience are drawn to - the magazine makes sure the film title is the most important and visible part of the cover.
