Little White Lies Magazine - Alex Lloyd

Little White Lies is a British independent movie magazine that features writing, illustration and photography related to cinema. It releases a bi-monthly Issue, each issue is themed around a single cover film, inspiring the design and editorial content of the entire magazine. The design of each issue has its inspired feature film represented on the cover by an illustration of its lead actor. The cover film also influences interior aspects within the magazine, such as editorial icons, chapter headings and custom typefaces. However, the overall template of the magazine remains the same. I believe Little White Lies would be a perfect magazine to review and feature our short film, it features films from a variety of genres, one of its most recent issues featured 'The Road'.

As you can see this front cover includes a mid close up of the main characters face played by Viggo Mortensen, the image is a screen print which is something we would like to achieve for our poster. This multi layer stencil creates an artistic and unique feel making the facial expressions seem clear.

We would have a similar effect with our poster in the way that we will include a screen print of our main character 'Milo'. It not only looks good but should look as if a child has created it.

Jack and I have been searching through the website and have found a unique convention that Little White Lies includes in each of their magazine, as each issue is themed around a single cover film, Little White Lies includes a design that is iconic for the film for its first two pages.
An important quote for each film is on the right hand side of the double page spread. Jack is going to design our own version of this double page spread with a design that relates to what's seen within our film as well as a quote from our monologue on the right hand side.
