Research: Consolidating My Research - Front Covers

In my first magazine I liked how the publisher had used puffs in bright colours to stand out as this would draw attention to my magazine. Another thing I like in the magazine is how the banner has been used in gold to give the magazine a classier look, I will consider doing this in my music magazine. The pull out is also another part of the magazine I like because it is very different and unique.

I looked at another magazine which was a country genre this was different to the other magazine as it isn't cluttered therefore the eye is not distracted. I may consider using a box-out behind tag words as this emphasises the word. Another thing I will take into consideration is covering the masthead with the models head to make the magazine look recognisable.

I will make my model look straight down the camera as this will engage with the reader and adhere to conventions. I will definately include a pull quote because this gives an insight into the magazine article.

Another magazine I looked at was an Indie magazine, this included an opaque banner, I like this because it is very unique. I like the bright colours that have been used on the front cover because they stand out to the audience. I will consider using buzz words on the front cover because this is very enticing and appealing.
