First Film Magazine Cover

This is my first magazine cover. I am pleased with the way it has turned out. I feel it has been successful in it's style, with the background being a simple colour. The background colour is a darker shade of the clothes the protagonist is wearing, which not only makes her stand out, it brings her in sync with the entire piece.

The title of the film in blue writing is effective because it manages to be bold and stand out against everything else, drawing the eye to it but not "hogging" the attention from the rest of the cover.

I think that if I were to do anything differently, I would have the protagonist wearing darker clothes, maybe grey, which is usually what Sight and Sound does. However, in this piece, the pinks and reds used are all appropriate for the theme of love and romance within the film that is being promoted. As I wanted it to be, the cover is modest and the magazine is promoting the film's "exploration of using the internet to find a spouse". This is typical of Sight and Sound - they will quite often look at various meanings and topics within films and discuss them - such as its in-depth look at Andrea Arnold's "Fish Tank". In conclusion, I am pleased with what I have achieved here, and feel that the cover is simple yet effective.
