The main colours used on the front cover here are all typical colours of “the joker”. Your eye is immediately drawn to the photograph and the word “joker on the left side in green, as he is the main focus of the cover.
He is presented as threatening, with the use of make-up, costuming and camera techniques. Most people already know about the iconic joker, so not much information would need to be presented in order to attract readers’ attentions.
The fact that the photo is covering part of the title of the magazine is recognised as being typical of well known magazines, such as “empire”.
The adverts and other features of the magazine are layed out in quite a random order, which could reflect the mind of the joker. Is seems as though it is quite busy, and doesnt follow all the expectations of a typical magazine cover, as there is a large empy gap on the left hand side. The way the words "meet the joker" are written is in a threatening way, as though it is an anonymous letter made with newspaper cuttings. This also has links to the film, as he leaves notes for people throughout the film.
The splodges of random colour over the front cover of the magazine may criminal activity, which also links to the joker's role in the film they are promoting.
