This is a cover for entertainment weekly advertising dark musical,Sweeney Todd: the demon barber, this is a remake of the classic musical. The storyline to this film is quite sinister and although it isnt necessarily categorised as a horror movie it does contain strong elements, the colours scheme used on the cover is fit for purpose as it delivers a cold, dark and sinister effect. the use of white is supposed to symbolise purity however on this cover i believe it symbolises ghostliness. starring is written across the characters neck in red, sweeney todd notoriously slit his victims throats with his razor blade, this could be symblising the bloodshed within the film. The masthead is in a large, bold pale blue font, this making it stand out to instant catch the readers attention, the use of black clothing on his character could be showing both the darkness off the genre as well as his evil intentions. overall the actors name is written in a bold white font as he is a popular actor it may encourage people to purchase the magazine on the account they are a fan of that particular celebrity.
