Magazine Cover Planning

Earlier I researched Empire Magazine front cover's however, I found that they don't often do horror genre films on the front page. Which is why I don't think it would be very realistic to use Empire Magazine. However, we were told that we could create our own media magazine to which our genre would be seen on the front cover.
This is why my group are planning to create a magazine that specailizes in covering horror genre films. The title of the magazine will most likely be something like 'Horror Media' or 'Horror Reviews'. The font will be similiar to Empire in the sense that it will be large and bold but we will chose a much more gothic font for the title.
We are also going to keep the theme of using the killer as our main unique selling point, that character will be used for the front cover as well as the teaser poster. We've decided to use the Killer as they are wearing a mask so don't give much away. The killer is also the most eerie, creepy character that will cause tension.
The Killer will be placed in the centre of the magazine cover and will most likely be a close up of the mask that they are wearing.
My group were thinking of putting the victims faces in the area of the masks eye slots so that we use all the characters but show the audience that the Killer is character to fear, this is abit like teaser poster image 'One Missed Call' used.
