Indidious - Magazine cover.

The masthead of this magazine is 'Fangoria' This is the name of the magazine. They have made it very bold by putting the font white with a red outline. As it is up against a black background it creates a huge contrast and makes it very eye catching for the audience. You can tell that this magazine will be suitable for horror lovers just from the font. This is becasue red connotes danger, blood and vilonce and by having the extended line on the letter 'F' and 'A' looks like scraches or blood dripping, this all links into the stereotypical conventions that you be be likey to see in a horror film. Having the font these colours, links it to the title of Insidious as that is the colours that are in the 'Insidious' title. This matches the film to the magazine making the audience think that it will include a lot about 'Insidious' and will attract them into buying it even more. The banner running across the top of the magazine says ' Italian horror! American terror! German gore!' this advertises to the audince that there will be a range of things that they will be talking about but all involves some convention of horror. The main image is shown in the centre of the cover. As the whole magazine is very dark, they have placed a very scary looking character from 'Insidious' holding a candle just below their face. This allow the audience to see part of the face but to still not know a lot about what it looks like so that an enigma is left.  There is a strip of four images shown along the bottom of the magazine. They all have some kind of horror convention involved in each image; whether it is gore, a mask hiding identity. The barecode is placed on the opposite side to where the barecode on the previous magazione i analysed, this is proberly becasue it interferes with the strip of images along the bottom. However i prefer when the barcode is on the bottom right hand side as i think that layout looks a lot more clear and set out correctly.
