I have put together a slide of 8 magazine cover I like the design elements of parts of the magazine I like include the:
- colour pallets
- formats
- graphics
- layout
- photo manipulation
- lighting
- cover models style
- cover model
- coverlines
Althoihg I do like some of these features on all of the design I prefer how the artists is styled and modeled in some rather then others. This is all down to personal preference. For example I like the colour pallete and the way the model is postitioned but I do not like the models costume.
The seventeen magazine I like as the main cover star goes into the masthead and it makes the magazine unique. However I find the colour pallet a bit boring and not very vibrant. I also don’t like the colur pallete on the Essance magazine as it is vibrant but the main cover star is dissaperaring into the backgorund.
The Vouge and the Taylor Swift magazine are very classy and plain therefore I don’t like them as they aren’t very pop magazine colours. I like the font of the ‘Billboard’ magazine as it is very bold and bright.
Knowing what I like and dislike will now help me create a magazine not only that I like but also a succesful magazine that my target audience like aswell.
