What is the name of the magazine? Why do you think it is
called that?
The magazine is called Empire possibly because of the
popularity of the magazine, it’s published in many countries around the world
mainly in US and UK, and the readership of the magazine could be called its “empire”
due to the size of this large number of readers.
What can you say about the layout design (fonts, colour
scheme)?
The colour scheme is relatively dark the use of colours such
as blue and red the connotation of this could be police, this is a convention
of all gangster films as they need to show that crime is fought with law. A unique feature of this magazine is layout.
Instead of the sell lines being on the sides of the magazine framing the main
image, they are in the centre bottom area of the cover which leads your eyes to
the sell lines after reading the headline in order to get the audience
interested in this issue. This also makes the audience focus more on the image.

Due to the fact that this is a 'crime issue' the sell lines
are features on other crime related films including films such as Fargo, No
Country for Old Men, Scarface and Eastern Promises.

these films which are based on a particular period in time.
