Sight and sound

For my magazine cover i have decided to use sight and sound, i have chosen to use this magazine as they look at all different genres and languages of films and dont have a specialized type that they focus on.

Here we have the cover that they had for 'Inglorious Bastards' where they have Quentin Tarantino in an unusual pose pointing at the camera, this pose shows that he is trying to connect with the audience and that this could be seen as people want to buy it asd they are being approached in this way. the color scheme that is used is ver dark with reds and blacks that refelect that its about a dark film also it reflects that its a film about war. This darkness contrasts to the 'sight and sound' banner even though its the magazines house style it contrasts nicely with the layout. The rest of the layout is very spaced out with different typeography that looks as if some one has written it then there is a quirky way of adding some text too with the gun shot i thought that this was a different idea that worked really well.

In comparison to this cover which is a completely different take on the magazine its very bland with just a plan blue background the house style with the titles is used again and contrasts nicely the typography that is used s very sketchy and looks as if it has been written, this works becuase it says on the cover than he is talking about roald dahl's book fantastic Mr. fox and the interview is about the film so i suppose its in Dahl's style.

With sight and sound they tend to have a bland background with an image then they use typography that refelects to the theme i think i will use this in my magazine as it will reflect well with the horror genre and i could play around with different layouts that they use.
