Film Magazine Cover - Deep Focus

This is my new and made-up film magazine. Instead of using an already existing publication, I decided to create my own, and therefore didn't feel constricted by conventions of "Sight and Sound" or "Total Film".

This magazine cover feels and looks very much like a glossy high street magazine which attracts readers (like Total Film or Empire) at first glance. However, the text shows the us that the magazine looks a little deeper into film; the first clue that the title "Deep Focus" is taken from a term used in Film Noir. Secondly, some of the articles "Romantic Invention" and "Why Watch America?" seem to suggest that there is serious and intellectual discussions taking place in the magazine.

This works well with the trailer itself, because the trailer attracts an audience from first glance with its typical romcom conventions, but underneath there is a comment on modern Britain being manipulated by the media and technology; to the extent that some people choose to use it to find their relationships for them and let it control their lives and how they live.
