Annotated magazine cover 2

Annotated magazine cover 2 - Empire

  

The second magazine cover that I have annotated is another 'Empire' magazine but with a slightly different layout.

The main image of this cover is Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, this is advertising the Pirates of the Caribbean film. By having a large image it captures the attention of the audience, and allows the audience to see the actor, which can lead to them understanding the genre of the film that is being reviewed inside. 

The cover also contains other text to inform the reader of what else is being covered within the magazine. Exaggeration is also used, for example the word 'biggest' is used to make something sound much better than it may be, this also captures the attention of the reader and keeps them engaged.
