Which have I chosen?I have chosen to use Empire as it has the largest
circulation and their publisher, Bauer Consumer Media, is a well known brand with over 80 influential products including ‘Q’ and ‘Mojo’. I am also a fan of Empire reading their website news weekly. I was going to choose Total Film as I like the covers style but have found another member of my group has chosen it so I shall do something different.
