1. MAGAZINE ASSIGNMENT
DANIEL PARUSHEV

2. On the front page of this magazine there is a
bigger version of his shield
Also the way they are center we can see the
direct address from captain America and The
Winter Soldier and we have the non direct
address from the black widow on the left.
The head of the characters overlaps the
Master Head (EMPIRE) text Which suggests
that the characters are more important than
the magazine itself.
The way the Title is set on the
Bottom left of the page in white making it stand
out. Its also pretty direct it literally says EMPIRE
which is good because it allows the reader to know
exactly what the magazine is about.
There is a dominant image as a front cover
which overlaps the master head the way the
Image is shot and also the original shield of
captain America this shows the iconic look of
the magazine and makes it stand out. The
reason it going to be recognized is because of
the popular face of Steve Rogers, Bucky
Barnes & Black Widow.
There isn't any barcodes on the
front of the page its assumed
that the
barcode is at the back.
The color schemes
black silver blue
the blue represents Steve the Black
shows black widows side and the silver
winter soldier Bucky because his hand is silver metal.
Because it’s a special edition the price
tag has been moved to the bottom and
the 25on the top shows that it’s a special edition 1989
-2014.
The way they look is that they haven't been in battle yet but
the shield behind them looks like it has seen some action. The
shield behind them has seen major damage which means they
have seen some action or that could suggest hints in the movie
itself (Captain America The Winter soldier this also could be a
teese for the film perhaps they switch shields or a new shield is
been made with the same power.
By the looks of the front cover its more like for 15 to 30
age its its aimed mostly at teenagers and older people
EDC1 Social grades. The reason people might think its
for older generation is because of the grim and dull
cover as we can see the picture doesn’t have colours
which stand out
THE PURPOSE of this magazines is to
entertain and satisfy audience to make
people see what they want to see in the
published magazine and also to provide
people with mainstream film reviews
THE GENRE is just a film magazine. There is a
information about directors and actors.
The way colours are used in this front cover as we can see the lighting is
quite dim which in many cases doesn’t really grab peoples attention but
as we can see captain America loky and the black widow as the main
front image this magazine is pretty simple and clean which could esily
get people to buy on the other side people might not find it as
interesting.
The purple frame around the magazine could be so
people can see it from far away is to perhaps to add
that extra colour

3. PRINT
The Title is challenges codes of
conventions because it takes half of
the room on the page. And its over
extended because it represents the
towers.
Dominant image
an extract from the film
Its made for Die Hard fans and the way its
made is so people can be interested on buying it.
They used alliteration in the strapline to
get attention both of tower and terror are
example of alliteration which is also part of
the title. There is EMPIRE in italics so it
stands out.
The orange strip around the double page spread is
some kind of a border maybe a tv frame or some kind of
a frame this is unusual. This could suggest that there is particular focal point a point w
The people who made the magazine want you to look when you open on that page an
The white strip around it makes it look abit like a book or a tv frame this could mean
To keep texts and columns secure.
Typical codes of conventions
folio which helps the audience navigate
trough the magazine this is not made to leak
information
From the magazine itself its simply so people could
view and keep
on track with the pages on the magazine.
There is a strap line gives information about the
contend
Its challenging the code of conventions by making it
look like there is a column but its not actually classed as
a columns. Its also a starter of the article.
This is a promotion
of the person who wrote the
Article
The image on the text has a selective
focus which makes the background blur
and Bruce Willis in focus which makes the
focus selective.
There is also a red filter which
emphasizes the blood and the action.
The red filter could suggest the
danger and the action in this
particular scene the way the shot Is
taken it’s a wide shot and it covers
both pages

4. This is the masthead of the
of the company its normally located on the
top of the page in the center
and its one of the biggest texts so it stands
out from the rest and it’s the most eye catching.
We have Lara Croft overlapping the masthead
which shows that she is more important of the the
masthead itself.
There is a tag line which will
intrigue the leader the tag line
has been used to promote
other things on the front cover
Tag line help to improve
accuracy of what's inside the
magazine or to show
information from inside.
There is a skyline which
promotes infinity war and
we can see some of black
panther. Also grabs
peoples eyes and makes it
look interesting overall
Behind her there is fog that could
be sighs of unknown or mystery
potentially on the left of her is
more darker than the right that
could suggest danger. Could also
suggest that there is action in the
magazine itself could also suggest
that there could be more images
about this certain topic.
There is a image caption an the character looking
straight at you which creates suspense and its
focused on Lara Croft which makes the customer to
look at her first. The way its designed and the way
the picture is been cantered to catch the naked aye
to look at it first before buying it.
The way the orange letters are shown
is so they differ from the other font
itself so it stands out to the naked aye
The choice of orange on the front
realizable and it can be spotted from
far away. That’s an appeal to the
target audience.
There is a little line of circles which
separates the two tittles PAUL
BETTANY and Jodie Whittaker
The plus bit shows and makes you think
you get more than what you paying for.
Also it could mean you get special edition
of what you’ve paid. Having the names of
the people could also mean you get
information about the people on the front
cover.
This could be targeted for audience for people
interested in films and from age 17-27 its
because not everyone is interested in because
it’s a digital magazine it could be aimed for
longer generations.
In every corner of the magazine the fog gets darker which means that it could
also suggest danger because there isn’t light it gets dark it could mean that
there s something behind her which we shouldn’t see from the beginning.
Main sell line TOMB RAIDER
Its organized and centered to the page
And its also indicates the main focus.
Sub head indicates what the
article is about and it gives
more information about it
And focuses Rebirth of Lora
Croft.
It’s a high anticipated movie
and it has world exclusive
with exclamation mark this
could suggest hype.
Sub images of
black panther and
fantastic beasts
which promotes
further movies. Its
also incorporated
with the masthead
which challenges
codes and
conventions and it
stands out from
the audience.
There is a
Subtitle with a
subhead
promoting
another
Stories
The image
of Lara Croft
looks like
she is been
in a battle.

5. It shows the information such as when
its been created or the model of the
magazine
Another codes of
convention there is little bot
of information about what
Jodie Whiltaker talks about
or what she might do. This
bold information usually
makes the person/celebrity
to be recognizable from far
away and also to be able to
catch your eyes from
distance.
This little bit of information
Tells the reader the department this double page
Spread is in which in this case is Drama which in
Some cases might make more people read them.
Colum's and
paragraphs have been
included so it make
the text tidy and need
so it doesn't’t look all
over the place there
could be a possible
The text has a cap drop which shows the reader
where to read from also the font is set to 11
usually and pretty much all the time magazines
use areal font but this could change over time.
The colour scheme could be the same
as the colour of the front cover
however the colour can change trout
out the magazine it doesn’t have to be
the same or similar to the colour on the
front because if everything is the same
it could become very boring for reading
and just having every page the same
colour or similar isn’t ideal coz it
doesn’t look very nice especially if it the
same colour on all the pages.
Colum's are important to be
used in a double page spread
because it creates that smooth
feeling and also it makes it easier
to be found and the information
is stored on a column its not all
over the place.
Every column has its
own sub head which tell
the reader what its
about or it could briefly
explains what could the
following paragraph to
be about.
The image on the middle of the magazine page could
mean or it could be in relative to the text itself which
Shows that we getting a peek in what's happening as well as reading it .
Since the top right of the
magazine
Has the genre which is Drama
we kind of know the
Genre but if we do look at the
Mise en scene the way Jadie
Whiltaker is dressed it could be
possible to work out that it is
related to drama
The colour of the page is
in a black but the
numbers a whitethe purpose – entertain, inform help create identity its
to help create imagery easier to get your head around
the storyline and its easier to understand what is
happening.
the genre of this magazine is film magazine
The look on
her tshirt
makes it stand
out as they use
bright colors to
potentially
stand out
from the rest
of the page.

6. OPPORTUNITIES & LIMITATIONS
• Digital
Digital is much cheaper than print magazine
greater circulations globally it can be
accessed everywhere in the world. Wit the
digital magazine there is more opportunity
for the businesses to grow also with the
digital magazine there could be videos
inputted and audio perhaps there could be
narrator who reads the story for you also on
some browsers there is a magnifier so you
can zoom in to look closely on the article.
Also Digital magazine is echo friendly and
quite easy to make and cost-effective its
also portable.
Cons of Digital
Sometimes on browser can be heard to
read if there is a poor internet connection it
might poor the quality of the page and
make it hard to see the quality might not
render properly. No internet connection
could mean that some features such as
audio might be disabled because of the
poor connection.
Print magazines can be and are more stable
because their technology isn't changing as
fast. Print is also portable and its taken
more serius from sources and
advertisement's. Print magazines don’t
have to be downloaded as they are physical
copy that you buy and carry with you.
You done have to wait for pictures to
downloaded because they are already there
physically. Print magazines don’t have
software that can crash. It a physical thing.
Cons of Print.
Online magazine that are not connected to
print publications do have more materials
that print magazines. Online can be more
popular by having up to 18 to 20 million
visitors.
• Print

7. TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Print
The paper size should be at least A4 or A5
Print do tent to use different fonts as sometimes.
Content page shows how many pages are there and also
it shows what sub heads and images in some cases shows
what on them. Helps the reader navigate trout the
magazine.
Bleed line. if there isn't bleed line some elements might
be cut off when printing it helps keep everything in frame.
The Gutter line will make navigating through the
magazine easier.
Color settings Print magazines do tent to use RGB colors
to make sure everything is looking colorful in filled with
color scene.
Digital
Layout the digital magazine has to keep the same layout
in all pages and subtitles.
The consideration of digital is
colors/fonts – font will be different on different devises
depends on the user and depends on the devise itself
some devises have different layers of texts and
depending on the devise and the user different people
attend to use different devises some people might attend
to use color inversions

8. DISTRIBUTION
With print magazine it can be found in the corners shops supermarkets
Print magazines should be sold in an appropriate places so it makes sure
the target audience for that certain film magazine find it and buy it. They
could be also sold in film rental stores and also there could be sold in
cinemas especially when its about newer film which just came out.
PRINT
DIGITAL
Digital magazines are published and can be accessed
trout the internet they are sold online because there
isn't a physical copy some services and browsers
provide the user to browse offline also allowing time
to keep a downloaded copy on the devises. People
with auto renew to magazine publishers will pay
automatically when there is a new article out unless
there is option to turn auto renew off and pay
manually.
In a way print will always have its place but digital allows
much more flexibility to reach the audience their terms. Print
and digital will always co exist together seamlessly being
intergraded into our everyday lives. We basically always live
in a online world where consumers expect instant
gratification, and this is where print will struggle to deliver.
Print magazines have a negative which is a positive for digital magazines, which is
that they destroy nature specifically tress to acquire paper to be used for the
magazine to be printed onto. A huge disadvantage for printed magazines is that t
only appeal to one specific audience whereas digital magazines aim to appeal to
every type of audience across the globe.One advantage of print magazines is that they give a physical texture
which many older readers would prefer over digital magazines. You
also don't have to wait for each article to load and once you have
read one article, you can move straight onto the next article without
waiting for the next article to load as well. Printed magazines will
most likely be taken a lot more seriously by sources. One huge
advantage to print magazines, is that when you're going through
articles trying to find an interesting article to read, you can come
across promotions as well as opportunities that you could take part
of and even win awards.
Overall, both digital and print magazines are better than each
other in their own ways but also have their disadvantages
which could work in their rivals favor e.g. how print destroys
nature whereas digital saves nature since it is all done on
technology. Also print appeals to an older audience so it still
gives old people something to do and read whereas digital
magazine appeals to younger readers as every young person
uses some form of technology mostly mobile phones which
they can read magazines on especially into more subjects for
example cars, fashion, games and movies etc. It is fair to say
that no form of magazine is better than the other as they're
unique in their own special ways.
Overall

9. BACKUP PROS AND CONS
• Digital is cheaper than printing a physical magazine . Its also easier to access because its accessible via smartphone tablet
computer it can be accessible from everything what uses internet also another good thing about digital it’s the fact its digital
which means you don’t only get images but you get more with digital you can get videos and audios perhaps in the future
there might be a narrator enabled for the online digital world which is a big plus for the digital industry because they don’t
have to waste as much as they gain. Narrator will be a very good example for blind people and for people who cant really
read or the narrator could be there just to help people understand while there screen is off.
• Digital is ideal for every industry also with digital there is more chance for big companies to advertise their product because
its an online industry and brings more interest because there is people online all the time.
• There could be a Full print style advertising so there could be an advert which could trigger and advertising video which
earns money to the certain brand or company or there could be ads which work only on some devises. Digital is a global
coverage and its much better than print magazines.
• Digital magazines a portable and easy to look at. The disadvantage of the the digital is that sometimes there isn't enough
internet the online magazine could in fact it will experience lag and there could e
