We looked at a few Fangoria magazine covers and discovered that a lot of their main focal point were of the gory genre however this was in contrast to our supernatural genre so we was unable to get ideas for main images. We did like the layout of some of the magazine covers, such as having a mid-shot of the main image and the title just above in a bright red colour to stand out and catch the eye of the audience. It also connotes blood to show the audience that the genre is horror. The title Fangoria binds in with the genre of this magazine as the word 'fang' relates to vampires and vampires, which are conventional for horror films. There is also sell lines along the sides of the main image and is also a generic convention of a magazine. We liked the position of these and they are all about other horror films creating a narrative enigma for the audience.
Another magazine we looked at was 'Little White Lies'. This is a British independent movie magazine. All of the main covers for this magazine are very similar showing an illustration of the lead actor of the film. This shows how artistic and differs from all other magazines. The logo of the magazine is always placed in the center of the top of the magazine over lapping the main image and this is seen as its Unique Selling Point as no other magazine follows this pattern. The bar code is portrayed as cut in half within the logo which makes the audience and fans of this magazine familiar with it and so it is more recognizable.
