Front Cover Comparison

I used the front covers from Q magazine, Mojo magazine and NME magazine to inspire the creation of my front cover.

I used Q magazine as a base idea for the dominant image:

I liked how with the image, the face was the focal point therefore meaning that more people are more likely to notice the magazine due to the person featured being very clear and easy to recognise.

 I used Mojo Magazine for the positioning of the text:

I liked how the text was kept around the face and did not overlap on the face keeping it easy to see. I also liked how the masthead was behind the dominant image as I think it shows that the magazine is well known which means that my magazine would be sold to more people.

I used NME magazine for the use of the boxes behind the text that is featured:

I used this method as I thick it helped to make the writing clearer due to having a black background. Without these boxes, I would not have been able to use my colour chime as the colors would not have shown up well on the black background.
