I love this magazine cover for Sight and Sound magazine because it resembles my movie poster, an image of a young woman, presumably in distress who looks as though she has been struggling against someone or something. The text is very simple with a conventional horror theme of black and white text, like many horror POSTERS. It makes me feel unsettled as I feel as though the girl is staring at me, a very clever example of good photography, especially for a horror genre as the whole point is to feel unsettled.
The white text represents purity and possibly hope, whereas the red contrasts this message and repsresents blood and danger. The girl is wearing red, which enforces this message. The black 'passion' contrasts the red clothing and sticks out brilliantly, catching my eye as soon as I saw the cover.
