After researching and analysing a variety of magazine types including Total Film, Hollywood Reporter, Little White Lies, Empire (very briefly at the beginning of Yr 13 for a mock up) and Sight & Sound I have chosen which magazine front cover I would like to create and have my film be featured on an issues front cover.
Although all of them are well established within different media sectors (Indie and big conglomerates), I think the magazine that would be best suited for my film to be featured on would be either Sight & Sound (S&S) or Little White Lies (LWL) and this is because of the genre I chose my film to be in which is social realism and due to the fact that these magazines are indie ones which would be more fitting for my film to be on a front cover of rather than a magazine such as Empire which usually includes bigger budgeted films.
I really like both S&S and LWL as I think they are both extremely effective due to their simplicity yet eye catching layouts. I furthermore like the illustrative aspect LWL includes on their front covers, however, as I already included an aspect like that through my films poster I would like to create a magazine such as Sight & Sound which takes the form of a more traditional magazine and create it using a software such as Photoshop.
On the right is a collage I created using PicMonkey. These show the different layouts, which are both very common that Sight & Sound create. The bottom ones, are usually those which are special editions or even are created in that layout to enhance something important which may be happening in the film industry. The above ones however, are the ones circulated regularly. They all have the typical rectangular boxes, one bigger than the other which includes the magazines masthead and tagline and one smaller which includes the BFI logo, date and barcode. All of these magazines are highly effective and the central images are both eye-catching and interesting and seem to work well with the colours and text fonts chosen. I am planning on creating a magazine front cover such as the one created for the Fish Tank feature (first picture, first row).
