Whilst researching The Big Issue, we were set the task of making our own TBI cover. For this I chose Adrien Brody as my central focus because he starred in a very recent film (at the time of making) called 'The Brutalist'. The film covers the experience of a Hungarian-Jewish Holocaust survivor who immigrates to the US, where he struggles to achiever the American dream. The film parallels between the artistic experience and the immigrant experience. This choice of topic is highly effective because it fits the high-brow taste of the ABC1 TBI audience, who have an appreciation for arthouse films. The film also covers social and historical issues, such as immigration and the feeling of otherness, anti-semitism and post-war trauma. A particularly relevant part is when the main character is homeless, which obviously relates to the purpose of TBI.
I chose this photo of Adrien Brody because it is serious but appears natural. His dishevelled hair and ordinary outfit makes him to appear more 'ordinary' despite being an A lister.
