Furthur Research - Empire magazines posters



Empire film magazine film covers

as part of our project, we also have to design front cover to a film magazine. these certain 3 film posters perfectly advertise the film. this is because they include no text and no other advertisement and just focus on the main character of the film. the kickass poster (picture 3) in particularly, is useful research as it looks quite gruesome and violent and it would be useful to use some of their ideas for when we being creating our front cover. in particular, the title on the kickass poster, also has a blood and gruesome looking font adding to the effect of the violent image.

I also choose the Dark Knight (2008), even though it isn't a horror, the poster gives the impression that is causes some "psychological" disturbance. it contains the words " ha ha ha" around the main characters face, the text also looks like it has been scrapped on with a knife, making the audience fill in the blanks. most of the cover is all black, making it seem more sinister. the stare from "batman" also looks very threatening .
