Sight and Sound Front Cover Analysis

This is a cover from Sight and Sound, an independent film magazine, which focuses on independent, British and World cinema rather than mainstream Hollywood movies.

• The masthead is plain and in rounded/curvy font suggesting the magazines focus is on lower budget films.
• The fonts used are more artistic rather than blocky putting across a more sophisticated nature of the magazine
• The dominant image is of David Fincher, a director, who most people are unlikely to recognise and most only recognise actors names/faces of the film, therefore the fact that his face is on the cover suggests this magazine caters to a different demographic than a mainstream magazine.
