This is an Empire magazine with the cover of Shaun Of The Dead, which was a comedy made in 2004 by Working Title Films. From the tag line "The 500 Greatest Movies Of All Time" which it indicates that the film on the cover is classed as one of the greatest films inside the issue. It's strange that Empire would use a film in the comedy genre as they conventionally reserve the front cover the place for big blockbusters and films that fall into the action genre. However Empires usual red and black conventional house style still remains on this issue, and in addition works well as the main image includes quite a lot of red, and with the addition of the red border gives this classy red carpet tone, which is created quite often as it looks professional and eye catching, thus encouraging the target audience to buy the issue and watch it to find out why the film has the front cover spot.
The Anchorage text is just simply "Shaun Of The Dead" no word play or puns are used as the film is very well known by most people. As usual on this issue the Anchorage text does not conflict with the main image instead has been placed slightly below to create this suitable balance of text and image. The creators of the issue have decided to use a light brown colour which resembles that of an award, further indicating a red carpet tone.
