Front Covers

Colours
I think these bring colour to the magazine front cover and catches people’s eyes to attract them to the magazine.

Information

The information is clear and the simple font in the black stands out against the bright background and clear part of skin on the picture of Rihanna.

There is less writing on the cover compared to other magazines this because I think that the editors didn’t want to cover up all the bright colours on the magazine or to make it different to other magazines.

Mast Head

I like the font of the mast head as in blends in with the background yet you can still see the title clearly as well. The font is like a scribble which creates a ‘rushed’ effect to the magazine, yet it gives the magazine the sense of style.

Mast head

The masthead on this magazine is at the bottom of the cover page, which is very unusual for a magazine. The font that is used is similar to a newspaper, which conects with the title 'the New York Times Magazine'. This gives a simple clear effect the the cover.

Images

The images to this cover are very eye catching towards a veiwer. This is because there are so many differnet images that show a variety of people. The photos also seemed to be editing in some way to make the magazine stand out and differ from other front covers.

Colours

The main colours are black and white, yet there is a a bright wash of colour coming through the pictures. The pictures look to have been washed to make them lighter and not so bold, to creat a calm effect. This technique is simple, yet effective to the reader.

Coverlines

There is not much extra information given on the cover which could be could be an advantage to the magazine or a disadvantage. The advantage being people will be attracted to the magazine cover therefore wanted to buy the magazine to see what is inside. Although the advantage being that people will not know enough want the magazine is actually about and what is inside it,, so then they would not purchase the magazine.

This is an example of Amelias' Magazine front cover. It has a vintage vibe to it, due to photo editing and enhancement. This magazine had no main masthead, although it has mainly coverlines that are in black to keep the cover simple. This works well, as the picture takes up the entire page with colour, so having a variety of colour text would probably spoil the simplicities of the image.
