This is a front cover from Total Film of a movie called shutter island whch is a well known horror film with stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio. The image shows "Teddy Daniels" who is Leonardo DiCaprio's character in the movie it shows him infront on the brand on magazine but behind the movie title, this adds a element of depth to the front cover. To identify it as a horror film the title is in blood red and the foggy ghosty effect at the bottom of the page works well with the looming darkness at the top of the page. From this it is important to properly identify by the background which genre the film is.
For example this is another magazing cover from Total film and this time it has Skyfall as its feature film. This helps explain how the background and text help suggest genre to the audience. With the gold title dark grey background and James bond in a suit with a gun it instantly tells you it is a thriller. However due to this being a sequel james bond film the type of film is so well known by fans that the background can be a grey background to draw attention to the character.
