Magazine Cover Analysis 3

Year Produced: 2013

Magazine Title: Scream

Sub Heading: Hellraiser Revelations

Main Image: The main image for this magazine cover is split with an image of Hellraiser's Pinhead and Frankenstein. The Hellraiser image is a dull white colour which makes the headings stand out more as a whole.
The Hellraiser image may also attract some more readers into buying the magazine if they injoyed the films.

Colours:
The red / yellow elements of this magazine cover really stand out due to the dull main images. I think that the red at the top / bottom of the cover is also really effective as it suit the horror theme well.

Fonts:
I think the fonts used also suit the theme well as they just look horror based. Especially the title 'Scream' the dripping text looks good. The text on the magazine cover also goes from white to yellow which makes it even more eye-catching.


Content of The Magazine Cover:
People will be interested in the main two sub headings - Hellraiser Revelations and the curse of Frankenstein mainly. Other headings such as 'The Walking Dead' may also make some readers purchase this magazine.

Target Audience:
The target audience for this magazine cover would likely be 18-35 year olds again. People that are interested in any of the films / t.v shows featured will also come under the target audience.
