Exploring Mystery

 Hi! I've recently continued my research analyzing the genre of mystery magazines. I started researching color theory and how they give off that feeling of suspense by using colors like black, dark blue and gray. These books often use combinations of colors like black and red to communicate violence and mystery. 

Covers of these mystery magazines would often not include a major part on the cover, only including half of the picture like keeping half of a characters face missing. This is done to try to create mystery and hook the reader to read and find the missing piece by reading through it.

The research that I've done so far has helped me change the direction of my project as before researching I thought that I would lean to more horror but after the research I started to prefer to mystery.
