Little White Lies uses dark colours to show the theme of horror of this magazine cover.

The Masthead is in the middle which is conventional for a magazine cover.

The background of the front cover is black which is an unconventional code for a magazine front cover.

The image on the front cover is illustrated, whereas conventionally it would be a photograph.

Usually the barcode, issue number, issue date and price are at the bottom of the magazine, however for this magazine it is as the top of the masthead.

The name of the illustrator has been included at the bottom of the page, something unconventional for a magazine.

This magazine does not include any feature stories which is unconventional.

This magazine is aimed at a niche audience, which means that it can break the conventions of a magazine cover.

This front cover also lacks the use of buzz words

There is only one feature story, the image on the front cover also relates to one article within the whole magazines.

This magazine is a horror based one.

This magazines uses a main character from the featuring movie, due to the layout of it, it could be a shot from the actual movie.

It uses the conventions found in a magazine. It has the masthead going across the top of the page, it has the barcode at the bottom alongside the website which promotes synergy.

We also have the setting of the film pictured, which could give us an idea of where the location of the movie.

The colour scheme of the masthead is orange and white. This magazine is aimed at well educated adults who have a taste for horror. That is the reason to why their magazine is more sophisticated.

The characters from well known horror movies are displayed in order to once again reflect the genre of the magazine but also give us an idea of what type of articles we will find inside the magazine.

The different font text is interesting and it makes the main movie stand out

As a whole this magazine is more colourful than you would expect a horror themed magazine to be. However this could be because the magazine is not aimed at young children or teenagers but at adults who know what a good magazine with high standards looks like.

Fangoria is aimed at horror films fans who are teenagers.

The main image could be one of the main character from the movie that is promoted.

This magazine follows the codes and conventions of a horror magazine. The barcode is in the right place which follows the convention of the magazine.

Other feature images are included, but presented on a film strip which is conveying the type of magazine that it is, but also what genre it is due to the snaps that it shows.

There are buzz words within the cover line which attracts the reader attention and stands out from the background.
