Front cover conventions: PicturesThe images above show the stereotypical front cover for a usual 'Sight & Sound' magazine front cover. These particular ones use medium long shots, so that the text next to the image wouldn't make the subject photograph look 'bulky' etc.
The middle image has been image manipulated with a grey layer, which creates the idea of bleakness; and the image on the left has been co-ordinated to have simple colour tones, which helps the magazine cover have an 'easy-eye' on the reader.
I feel that the magazine would tailor to my particular genre of film, as it means that it would have the target audience I would want to show, however it would also be sold in shops such as Wh-Smith, which would possibly guarantee a wider audience.
