Influences on the Magazine Cover

The above mood board is a good representation of the ideas that I initially wanted to encapsulate in my magazine cover. The ideas of the 3D images did not come across in the physical copy that we printed, and looked blurred or poorly printed. Thus, the effect that I had applied was rejected in favour of a bolder, clearer image, which fits with the 'Sight & Sound' influences of directors staring intently and disarmingly into the camera. This, and the 3-in-1 idea of the directors has been successful in the cover, to the extent that the 3D effect was in fact superfluous and could be sacrificed in the name of stronger imagery.
