This magazine cover had various features that appealed to me:
- the use of a single image in the centre of the magazine and the white background which draws the readers eye to the blood dripping from her hand.
- the shock created by the contrast in the innocent look created via the cheer leading costume and the dripping blood.
- a quote from the main actress is included in the bottom left of the magazine to create further intrigue.
- the subliminal way that the reader is given a clue as to the horror genre of the film through aspects of the image.
- The limited use of colours for subheadings does not detract from the main image.
- Sensational language makes the content of the magazine appealing to the prospective reader.
- It has a lot of text positioned around the edge of the magazine so that it does not appear cluttered and confusing.
- Page numbers of articles are included on the front cover to assist the reader locate features that interest them easily.
- Masthead is large and in red to complement the red of the blood dripping on the main image. Part of the masthead is concealed by the photo of the cheerleader but the branding is so strong that the Total Film title is still decipherable.
- Websites, barcode and edition dates are also on display.
