Ideas for magazine covers

Magazine Covers:

We like these cover because:

-The photograph of the artist is black and white, we like this because its simple and a rare thing to see on a pop magazine cover.
-The name of the magazine is clear and stands out as it is very bright and colourful, also it is very busy compared to the minimalistic feel of the rest of the cover.
-Clear picture of the artists face, we like this because its a close up of the artist and identify with the artist straight away.

 

 

-We like the colour scheme of this magazine cover because the text colour and the colour used on this outfit match, linking the whole thing together.
-The close up of the artists face is good because its easy to identify him.
-All of the text on this cover is straight apart from the name of the artist 'Kanye West' this makes the name stand out so the reader knows who the artist is.
-The text is situated behind the photograph of thr artist to make him they key focus.

-We like the bright colour used for the writing alone with the simplistic clothing and background, it keeps the cover quite simple but it still catches your eye.
-We like they they have included a qr barcode on the cover, allowing people to connect it with there phones, keeping the magazine current by including technology, as the pop genres main target audience is the younger generation who are constantly using technology.
-We like the lighting used the light the side of the artists faces creating a border around them, stopping the artist merging into the background.



The cover we like the best is the first one due to its minimalistic feel and the constrasting use of colour against black and white, we also like the idea of using a large photograph of the artist making it clear who it is. One of the aspects we would like to use is on the third cover which is the qr barcode as we want to keep our cover up to date and connect with our main target audience.
