Audience Front cover analysis + Publishing research

I analysed this magazine front cover as the cover was a representation of a generic conventional horror magazines. This magazine (Fangoria) is likely to attract a mainstream (psychographic) of horror fans. Notably, the horror factor is reinforced on this magazine - entitled Fangoria - front cover by the stream of images positioned at the bottom of the page. My analysis tells me that for my planning and production stage of my magazine front cover I will need to use some typical layout format that indicates that my product adheres to the generic conventions of horror. Typically, a horror magazine features a close up shot or a mid close up shot of a central character in a horror movie. The top of the page is where the mastheads will be centred, usually accompanied a by a skyline subheading or a slogan. However, this is not always the case as seen by the layout of the Entertainment Weekly which features the subheadings of the magazine at the very top, above the masthead.
