Deconstruction - Magazine Cover

This Magazine cover is from the October edition of empire magazine, I chose james bond since it was a action  based genre and i believe the basic conventions of the typical action film consist of the main protagonist and antagonist, This is the same plan i have for my film trailer. I find the idea of a stereotypical Hero and Villain situation much more appealing to write for.

The main points of this cover are

- The main character has the centre of the page to catch our attention, the fact the main character is beat up show it is very action based, also the main character takes the most priority in the picture since he overlaps the title of magazine

-the title of the the film is in a large font and is in a different style to the rest of the cover. the subtitles are dotted around to tell the readers what else is in the magazine

I have noticed that all magazine covers have the barcode in the top or bottom of the front cover.

i have taken all of these point into consideration when designing my cover
