Empire Masthead


We decided to not create our own magazine name instead we have picked Empire. As we decided that we wanted to create a front cover for a magazine for a popular magazine as this means that there are different conventions. So we researched different Empire magazine and looked at the layout of the front cover to see the conventions. We found out that the barcode goes into the bottom right corner, empire title goes at the top which is sometimes partially covered by the picture on the cover. The price, date and issue number goes above the M of empire and the website  goes under the title. 

The font colour of empire has been used  in a verity of colours for example white and black but we decided to use there original colour which is red. As it is the company conventional colour which is used on the cover and it also this colour works well against the background of the magazine. Before we added the title to the poster we had to edit it by removing the white background so that the background on the cover is shown instead.
