This is another one of 'Empires'horror magazine covers the large upper-case font that is behind the main images head shows the strong man that they are trying to show. The image is of Leonardo Di Caprio who is a very well known actor. The fact that he is on the front of this poster is to connote the strong male lead role in a film. This is a role that we are predominantly used to seeing him playing the main good looking hero in action films. Another film he played in is the thriller 'shutter island' where again we see him playing the most predominant male role. This is typical in horror films to have a male hero. This works well for the type of film magazine to have this strong male role because it shows his strength. With the text actually going behind him it makes you believe his strength through the magazine cover. The fact that the strap-line is about a well known films makes you understand how good this film is going to be because it is really emphasizing on characters. The Masthead for this poster is in large big font so it predominantly is taking up a lot of the page not only that but ti means you are able to see straight away what magazine it is which is perfect for people that buy this regularly because they know what to expect. The large red font also makes it very bold and eye catching. Again the use of the font being overlapped by the head of Leonardo Di Caprio is also just pointing out him and making him stand out against the background.
