2. I gave out questionnaires to a group of people in my class and by looking
at the responses, the majority of the class picked the one with red
black and white. There was response such as;
• It relates more with the horror genre.
• Gives a scary atmosphere
• Red because give connotation of blood
• Danger zone
• Tells us that its evil story
• Can be twisted with love or hate
• The purple orange and white looks too bright, would not fit in with the
atmosphere of the genre.
• Red and black brings the horror atmosphere.
• Blue, purple and black looks interesting and colourful but I prefer the
red and black as it gives connotations horror straight away.
• Therefore I have decided to go with the majority, where they prefer the
colour scheme red black and white , suits the genre.

6. These are the templates for my magazine cover and I have chosen 3
colour schemes which are, purple and orange and white. Red and
black, lastly purple and blue. I have decided to go with the red and
black poster as I recon it will be more suitable for my topic-Horror. Red
and black are the main colours that are used by horror magazine and
poster. Red gives connotations of blood and danger which may aware
the audience that this is a magazine with horror topics. Also black
gives connotations of darkness and death and mystery so this can
attract the horror fans attention. Another colour scheme I chose was
black, blue and purple. The other colour schemes that I chose don’t
think it will go well with magazine as well as the red and black colours
scheme. I believe that red and black will be more suitable. The film that
we are creating is called slaughter and for that typography we have
decide to use red colour font so it fits in well with the colour scheme. I
had to use one of the existing magazines masthead, so I have decided
to use ‘EMPIRE’ to be my masthead. It is very noticeable that the most
common colours used in many horror magazine is red and black
therefore I am going to use the colour scheme red black and white for
the magazine that I will be creating.

10. These are the templates for the poster that I will be creating. The 3
colour schemes I have chose is [black, red and white], [black, purple
and white], [black, green and white]. As you can see I’ve chose white
and black for all the colour schemes for my poster this is because there
colours fit well with any colour I chose. I chose red because it gives
connotations of blood, and danger which is a popular colour that goes
well his the genre. The colour purple give connotations of violence and
bruising which gives the idea that someone definitely gets hurt in out
film. Lastly I chose green because it symbolises sickness which can
relate to our film in a sense that the way the characters kill our
characters in a dirty way which can be sickening. I have decided to go
with the colour scheme black red and white. This is because it then
gives a sense of identity for the film because I will be using the same
colour scheme for the magazine and poster. When people see the
colours red and black they will automatically have the idea that its
about the film ‘Slaughter’.
