My Magazine cover shares several of the horror conventions seen on the front of this publication of SCREAM Magazine. The first and most notable similarity is the image. Editing and iconography was clearly fundamental in both pieces, as was the nature of the photo. SCREAM immediately establishes genre through the connotations of the main image. The skull signals death; signals horror. I have attempted to emulate this through the use of a creepy, well-defined mask that also instantly connotes horror. The text and colouring is also standard of the genre with the obvious connotations and name of both magazines. I also, such as SCREAM have several features placed down the side of my magazine so as to intrigue and inform my prospective audience. The magazine itself share common magazine features: taglines, bar code, title etc. The cinematography of the piece and the magazines overwhelming connotations make it stand out as being from the horror genre, while the text allows sustenance and intrigues my intended audience.
