I have decided to look into a magazine which is for a specific genre, the genre I am basing my trailer on which is horror. I found a producer of horror magazines called 'Fangoria'. These magazine feature horror films specifically. Previously I have only looked at main stream magazines rather than genre specific magazines. These magazines are different as the main images and secondary images are all about horror. The colours used within the front cover are related to horrors, dark colours are used and red and orange as all these colours connote darkness, anger and danger, all things associated with horror films. All the sub headings include information about horror films to keep the theme. These sort of magazines are very specific to the genre therefore the audience range is more narrow and can be seen as niche. The layout of these two magazines, which are from the same producer, have the same layout. The barcode has been placed in the bottom right hand corner on both magazines and the sub headings only on the left hand side. This is different to main stream magazines as these have sub headings on both sides of the main image instead of just the left hand side. These magazines are good as straight away, anyone who sees this magazine will know that this is related to the genre horror.
