The main image is simple yet effective

The 'innocence' of the main image conveys a different look

The poster generally falls into common codes and conventions of magazines

The over-laid images are edited effectively (very 80's but fits well)

The chosen text is all over the place, a maximum of two different texts would look more professional

The size of the 'coming soon' text overpowers the feature title

Press quotes are usually on DVD release posters and magazine front covers, rather than teaser posters

The main image works very well and looks professional

The colour scheme is effective and again makes it look professional

It sticks closely with codes and conventions

Not too much on it so it has avoided overcrowding

It looks like it could be an actual empire magazine front cover

Everything from the text, colour scheme, image and layout relates directly to the film

It has a very strong house style

The magazine masthead should be larger. Empire are known for never altering their masthead so this should have been portrayed so it can stand out more.

The black 'splats' kill any connotations of blood and violence and connote ink more than anything else.

The barcode is not in the normal place, it should be on the right hand side as it is less important and the left hand side of a magazine is reserved for important information as the target market read left to right so they will see this info first.
