Scream Front Cover Magazine Analysis 1

Below is an Scream magazine cover:

• The images on the cover maintain a constant use of portraits for each film featured. Each portrait uses a direct mode of address, involving the reader into the image and attracting their eye as they pass. 
• The cover line and addition information is separated by using a slightly smaller font with a white colour. This helps guide the reader’s attention down the page while providing small snippets of information to entice them to open and read more. 
• The masthead, along with other information, are painted onto a wooden sign that hangs from the top. 
• The images used are very pale and unsaturated. This therefore creates a very eerie and haunting feel to them. The main images manages to encapsulate every aspect of the 'Friday the 13th'. the film has an iconic mask on Jason, along with the large unnerving blade and deep irking forest. This instantly identifies the film in question and instantly captures the attention of any fans.
• The footer uses very bold sans-serif fonts to provide a solid contrast with the dark background, standing out very effectively. This collection of feature rounds up the magazine nicely and provides a good reference for anybody interested in the magazine to find out more about the contents.
