Analysis
To gain a better understanding of how horror is promoted in magazines i have compiled these generic horror magazines in an attempt to analyze the key aspects, this will eventually help my a lot as research due to the fact the we will be making a horror magazine promoting our film. I have some experience in this due to the fact that last year I created a magazine front cover to promote a musician. I will present my findings in bullet point form.
- They all have a dark color scheme that is contrasted by a bright lurid title.
- The typography used is related to some sort of horror genre, for example fangoria uses vampiric font colored in red to semiotically represent blood.
- The named fangoria has the word fang in it relating to vampires or animals.
- They all have a antagonist from a horror movie on the front, this makes the audience instantly associate this with horror.
- They follow much of the conventions we learnt about last year, for example they have the title the side stories, the price and the tag-line in roughly the same place.
