Prior to this research, my knowledge on thriller magazine covers was quite insubstantial, however after studying many and analyzing in depth three, i feel a lot more confident now. The three magazine covers i looked at ion further detail, were all very different, i did this because prior to this i was completely unsure as to how i want my magazine to turn out, therefore by looking at these, i was able to depict elements from each of which i like and dislike so therefore when i create my own magazine it will be diverse. One thing i identified was that the main image, usually contains one actor of which is the most significant in the film, this is because there is a lot more going on visually in terms of mastheads, cover lines and skylines. Consequently, to ensure that the image stands out, it has to be extremely outspoken and dramatic, i am going to take this knowledge and ensure that my photo shoot is diverse and striking, this will balance out the audiences attention on the writing and picture which is vital. I have also depicted that the masthead usually coincides with the theme of the main feature, for example the fire surrounding the typography to foreshadow hell for 'Hell boy'. I think this feature is really beneficial as it not only compliments the color scheme, however looks more advanced and interesting. Another theme i identified between them all is that the colour scheme is quite similar, incorporating three main colors of which are black, white and red. Although this looks good, i may reject this convention in order to stand out and be original. I think the covers where the typography is of similar fonts is more professional looking therefore i definitely think i will stick to this as my main objectives are to not only look scary, though professional to. In concusion, this research
