Existing Film Mags, visual:

I think majority of these are ugly... the pictures are too harsh and there is lack of defining which is hierarchy out of the text. I also think there is a clash of so many different colours. Some as well I think have too much information on.

My favoured ones are:

Little White Lies
Le Film
Empire
Modern Screen

Because,
More structure, clearer, bit more simple, colours all work better. 


This is what I like, I want to apply it to film mags:

hardly any of these are film mags, but I like the :

layout of type, how the type is over the image

interesting layout of type

black and white photography and type over the top

use of white space, also white type of image

a whole image taking up the whole background

black and white photography with type

large image with photography

simple layout, simple contents

dark effect on photograph, gradients etc...

 I like the idea of having a bright colour over black and white photography, I would like to explore this

another example of photography with type over it, I also like how the image has more room to brief, not being crowded with loads of info

very little type but large lettering, the type could even be smaller if it is on a magazine

love this, lovely shading, photograph in general is great, good concept behind it as well. In terms of what I could use from it, clear, spaced out type, not too much colour

obvious separation, use of layers on a photograph
