The Wolverine - Empire Magazine cover Analysis

As well as looking at the poster to promote 'The Wolverine', I also looked at a magazine cover for Empire, which was The Wolverine featured issue that was promoted on the front cover.

              

By analysing the codes and conventions of this issue of Empire, it has allowed me to see how a large budget and established magazine promotes a Blockbuster film. It was clear to me that I would not be able to reproduce a magazine cover of my own to this standard, as the level of CGI is higher than I could achieve on Photoshop only and the time I have to complete this task. This has given me an overview of one end of the scale of quality of promotion within magazine production and I will next find magazines that are more independent and that have a cover that I will be able to create with my own skills and ability.
