Sight and Sound magazine front cover analysis



The sans serif font and orange in the title strap denotes enthusiasm, happiness and purity, which contradicts the central cover image of the woman with a bloody knife. We did not want to use this on our magazine, because it is not subtle enough in what it is promoting. However, we wanted to study the magazine, because it is an indie magazine and our project is low budget. The other element we noticed about this magazine front cover was that it was not crowded with information like Gorezone. Therefore, we wanted to have just the right amount of information on our front cover, so that it is not too crowded, but not too simplistic.
