Closer

I love this film I think it is very underrated. It's brilliant in the most brutally honest way. We are flawed and often times selfish and horrible people. Closer is about that. If you have ever fallen into love with one person while you fell out of love with another, or done something purely out of spite, this movie is an amazing reflection of those feelings.
That being said, in this design the idea of the layout is that all four characters' lives overlap and they do so through each other. This cover tries to show the connection and the path of the connection through the image sequence. As for the images I chose and why I chose them, it is because in each picture each character is staring in a different direction. In each picture the character appears unhappy and you can feel they are all thinking different thoughts and have different intentions. The contrast of color and black and white is simply to separate the images so they stand out from each other. As for the text, it subtly moves closer together or, to me, it blurs farther apart. This represents our characters falling in and out of love and not knowing what they really want.
