There aren't really many codes or conventions when creating a crime poster but there are a few patterns I have noticed occurring quite regularly.
Firstly almost all crime movie posters I have seen have the main characters and as I'm into old fashioned gangster sort of crime films they are often wearing suites and are all round well groomed looking people, also I have noticed the males on these covers are usually dark haired weather this is just a connection to the idea of the Italian mafia I'm not sure it just seems to me like a very common pattern.
Another notable thing are the colours they are dark with white and red no other colours or shades usually, and when the background is more of a scenery surrounding and not just black background more often than not its a big city.
When it comes to the manner and diction of the text however this often seems to range a large amount in these posters there never seems to be a set theme in the way that the text looks or where they place writing on the page.
