Here is the front cover of Empire magazine for the James Bond film 'Skyfall.' This front cover I think is quite useful as it has the style I could use for Poezzi on my front cover. With Bond wearing a suit it shows that he is of high quality and likes to dress slick for his line of work. Therefore I will use images of Poezzi in his suit for my front cover to show my audience that he is all about high quality as well as allowing me to contrast his appearance with Castro's to show their different styles if I decide to put Castro on my magazine cover. Also the plain background allows the main focus of the magazine to be on Bond mixed in with the broken glass effect. Therefore I have taken pictures of Poezzi up against a plain background so that the main focus can be on Poezzi and his appearance. This plain background also allows the audience to focus on the gun Bond is holding which is a crucial part of his job. Therefore I will let Poezzi hold a gun to show the audience that he is a dangerous person as he is willing to kill. Once again as Bond is center of the cover it allows Empire to base the cover lines around him. I really like the effect of having a cover line above the masthead, and then a main one in the center with a few other lines added in to pull in the audience as well as letting anyone quickly passing the magazine to realize the cover is based on the Bond film due to all the cover lines. This is an effect I will use on my front cover as I feel it is a very effective technique.
