General analysis of EMPIRE film magazines

I found from my film magazine covers a number of different things.

1) I found that the masthead was usually over layered by the actor.
2) The actor was usually over layered then by the splash.
3) I found the main colour scheme was red, white and gold.
4) The background colour was usually a plain dark colour or a dark mis-en-scene colour.
5) The magazines usually promoted different genres of films, trying to attract a wide audience. However, there were examples where they did not do this.
6) The actors were usually in their costumes and posing as their characters, rather than as they actual selves.
7) The magazine usually gave readers the appeal of feeling important or having a better advantage than others if they were to read the magazine.
8) The bar code did not have a strict place where it always was, but it was usually slanted diagonally.
9) The M on EMPIRE usually had the issue date and price above it.
