Within the front cover of this magazine one of the sell lines states " Heroes of 2010" in juxtaposition to the main headline " Public enemies", there is a clear contrast within this front cover of evil vs good. This can future be seen through the contrasting colour schemes as the headline is in grey connoting pureness (morally) as well as dullness possibly towards the "Public enemy , where as for " heroes of 2010" its in the colour red connoting danger as well as bravery. The main image is a mid-long shot of Johnny Depp in all black from his long oversized coat , fedora, tie and gun the colour black connotes a feeling of death , evil and mystery but also contrast extremely well against the background which is blurred out causing all are attention to be focused on johnny. More over johnny character represents the public enemy as he is holding a gun which is a symbol of violence , death and destruction , whilst facing away from looking at the audience along with a pensive look on his face which projects a sense of disconnection with the audience.
