2. The design of each issue is inspired by its feature film, often represented on the cover by an illustration of its lead
actor. The cover film also influences interior aspects, such as editorial icons, chapter headings and custom
typefaces. However, the overall template of the magazine remains the same. We were instantly interested in little
white lies, as it instantly catches your eye, and this is what we wanted to happen with our audience when viewing
the magazine, we wanted something different and little white lies ensured this fact.
3. Almost always direct eye
contact is made by the actor
that is featuring on the
cover, by doing this the
reader feels connected with
not only the actor/character
but the film.
There is not much attention drawn to the
film title, it is small and usually placed at
the bottom of the magazine and in some
circumstances the title isn't even featured.
By doing this the readers attention is more
drawn to the connection with the main
character and making their own
interpretation of the film through the
magazines choice of colour scheme, and
design
4. Company logo
Little white lies keeps within its set structure,
even though each magazine cover is uniquely
different. The title is always the same, placed
in the same constant position, which
coincides with each of the different covers.
For example every issue has the title and
barcode touching the forehead/ top of head,
this constant positioning allows the magazine
some continuity, allowing readers to
recognize
5. Film Title
Little white lies seems to not have a massive focus
on film titles, the are almost always very small and
not very noticeable., this could be because the
magazine does not want to take away from the
film itself, wanting the character itself to describe
the film, and explain to the audience the events in
the film, instead of relying on the film title to
express the connotations of the film. It might also
be to diffuse the notion that it is a film poster not
a magazine cover, as this could be a common
mistake because of its lack of text on the front
cover and its artistic styles. They may be trying to
subtly distinguish between poster and magazine
without making it obvious that they are doing this.
