On the front cover you have one main Publisher:
picture of a basketball player, who is
dressed in designer labelled clothing, L. Londell McMillan
showing that there may be a fashion
feature in the magazine. Circulation:
I like the background colour as it
merges with the colour of the coat 33000+
Carmelo Anthony is wearing. By doing
this it doesn't make Carmelo stand out Frequency:
as much, they may do this to show that
he is not the main feature in the Monthly
magazine, and wanting you to read the
information on the front cover about the Target audience
magazine.

 XXL
The front cover of XXL magazine is not crowded by
Cost words or multiple pictures. It is simply the title,
£4.99 picture and a sub heading. By doing this, they have
made the image of the rapper Eminem, a very
Target powerful one. You are drown to this image.
The colours which they have used helps this. The
Audience black background makes sure that you are looking at
18-28 the image as there is nothing else to see. This also
Publisher shows that the main article in the magazine is about
Eminem having a comeback.

VIBE magazine has done there front cover 18-34
differently. They do also have the main image of a Publisher
rapper(Lil Wayne) , but also a lot of information
about what’s inside the magazine. By looking and Len
reading the front t cover you know that this Burnet
magazine isn't just a rap magazine, also tells you
about film reviews and other types of music. Frequency
I also like the layout and use of colours which they Monthly
have used. The black and pink writing goes well
together as they used the pink for the main Circulation
headings and then the black for the rest of the
writing. These two colours create a good contrast . 800,000
Conclusion

The main thing which I have learnt from these magazine covers is that you need a
powerful image. A powerful image which stands out is what makes the audience want
to read your magazine. Its what catch’s there eye when there looking for what
magazine they want to buy.
I think that i am not going to put to much txt on the front of my magazine as I think
it’s to over-crowding and I want my image to really stand out. I will have sub titles to
let the reader know what’s going to be inside the magazine and also what it’s about.
As its the first magazine, I want my audience to know what my magazine is about by
just looking at the front cover. So I am going to include a little bit of information on
what is going to be inside the magazine.
I am also going to include a free-be in my magazine to also attracts the reader to
buy my magazine. This will be a copy of ‘Raising hell’ album by RUN DMC. I chose
this to be my free-be as they are my biggest influence to create my magazine.
