American Cinematographer Front Cover Analysis

American Cinematographer is a magazine that focuses on the specialist job of lighting a film. The magazine contains articles on Hollywood films but also independent, British and world cinema. The magazine is also very niche. The American Cinematographer masthead is of artistically lower case writing with a font that isn't blocky this represents the cinematographers that are artistic and don't have a public face.  furthermore the cover lines are not of blockbuster movies but of cinematographers this adds to my previous assumption hat this magazine focuses on lighting and cinematographers. Moreover with a dominant actor as a central figure it represents that it doesn't only focus on Cinematographers, but on dominant movies as well. The back round is muted representing that the focus of this magazine is not on stars of the film but rather the people that give the film its look.
