Magazine Inspiration And Design

A possibly magazine I have chosen is 'Little White Lies' as they are a smaller magazine company that advertise a variety of movies. I think that this magazine would be more likely to advertise my coming of age drama rather than a magazine like 'Empire'. I like the way the magazine distorts the colours on the magazine to make it more eye catching to the audience.

I like the fact that the image is mainly in just two colours as i think this makes the magazine standout as its not very common for magazine to use such bright colours. I think the magazine cover for 'The Neon Demon' is really attention grabbing but I don't think recreating something that would work for my magazine. I could possibly create my poster in the same way as 'Serpico' which would mean i would have a dark background for my cover. However I think that producing a magazine cover like this will not allow me to challenge myself as it is a fairly bare cover as there aren't many headings on show.

I think another magazine cover I could try and create would be 'Sight and Sound', the magazine advertises a wide range o movies and I think I could create a cover that would suit it. 

I like the fact that the central image on the magazine covers is the main character, i also like the way the image is quite serious in the majority of the covers. I also like the way that in some of the covers a feature colour is shown through the titles. I think this makes the cover interesting as the central image on the majority of the magazine covers can be quite dark and dull but then the pops of colours make it stand out.

I think the magazine im going to take my inspiration from is 'Sight & Sound' as it allows me to use a naturalistic picture of the main character rather than having it have a slightly cartoonist effect like the covers from 'Little White Lies'. I also think that using 'Sight & Sound' will allow me to give across the serious undertone of the movie to the audience.
