Filmmaker Magazine Cover Analysis

Filmmaker is a film magazine which focuses on independent films. The 'modestly' coloured masthead is not designed to stand out to the viewer, it's more to look professional and not be overwhelming on the cover. The slogan (The magazine of independent film) also shows the viewer what the magazine is about. The dominant central image might be of a famous actress, but the coverline shows how she was interviewed as a filmmaker. The other coverlines are all independent films such as 'Cosmopolis' and 'Beasts of the Southern Wild'.
