Movie Magazine Front Cover 1

This is the frontcover of the popular film magazine Empire featuring the antagonist The Joker from the 2008 film The Dark Knight. We know that this is a popular film magazine due to the fact that the image is overlapping with the title of the magazine, showing that the magazine is so well known that the full title of the magazine isn't even needed. The main headline is written as if the letters have been cut out of a newspaper or magazine, which relates with The Joker as that is how he sends messages in the film. Furthermore, the caption which says "He's a cold blooded, mass murdering clown!" The magazine relates will the clown idea by using bright colours such as green and purple, which contrasts with the black background, despite darkness being a convention of the film.

The magazine also follows other common conventions of a magazine, for example smaller headlines to show what is in the magazine, the barcoad, the date and the price.
