For my magazine cover I used the Little White Lies 'Gone Girl' cover as inspiration for my composition. I used this since it shows two sides of the same person and their different emotions; the idea of duality. The magazine cover, as well as other Little White Lies covers, don't give much if anything away to the plot but expect the viewer to already know the plot and therefore want to read more about the film. As my idea is similar- two people having their bodies swapped, I used this to show that they are different yet the same. The original cover was handdrawn and edited. I drew out a rough composition first but felt that the final idea would look better if done on photoshop. I used the colours blue and pink to represent gender yet switched the stereotypical colours to imply that their personalities are not stereotypical. I drew the two main characters on photoshop then added some gradient and lighting then overlaid the images so that the eyes met, the same way they do in the reference cover. I then added the title using the font used in my intertitles and added a gradient of blue and pink to match the colour scheme.In some of Little White Lies cover they have subheadings whilst sometimes they don't. Initially I thought the cover would look better without subheadings, yet when I made the cover I didn't think it looked so interesting so I added subheadings that are copired and references from another LWL cover. I feel this one looks better but I will make a poll so that people can vote. Either way I may have to fiddle with setting or remake the cover since the image is a JPG. file which causes the image to be blurred when I want it to be clear.
