This document analyzes and summarizes the cover designs of several technology magazines. It discusses the use of fonts, colors, images and other design elements across different magazines. Common techniques included bold titles, catchy phrases, focal product advertisements and color schemes that make key information stand out. Magazine covers aim to attract customers' attention and convey what content is inside through their visual design.

1. The cover for the magazine (apple) has many common features with it
such as the big bold titles and the catchy phrases with some bright
colours. But it’s not like some other magazines were there are bright
colours everywhere, the use of dark toned colours around a bright light
allow the battery in the middle to be one of the focuses of the front
cover. The different colour usage for the other small titles draw
attention to it because of its colours, even though it is very small. All the
different fonts on the cover all have different purposes. For example, the
main tittle has a thick, overlapping font that slides to the right a bit. All
the other fonts are thin and tall which makes the title stand out but still
show the other titles because they stand out from the titles font.
This magazine cover has a background that relates to the title; making
waves. This also advertises the product that is on the cover of the
magazine; saying that it is waterproof. The title does not just advertise
the waterproofing of the phone but could also mean that the phone and
the company are making waves of money and fans. The different fonts
such as the second main title give the cover a calm look, just like water.
The main title is sharp and bold, with a dark colour blue font. This also
fits the advertisement of the phone because of the blue colour. Many
magazines always advertise a new product or piece of news at the front
so customers are more likely to pick it up and read it. Advertisements
like these and like the others on the cover are also what makes people
by them.
Magazines like these have to be colourful and detailed because of the
large promotion PlayStation want to get for a game or a console before
it comes out. The fonts of the game title has its own story because it
shows so much detail on what the game may be about. New consoles
like the PlayStation 4 get advertised on magazines with the games that
come with them. The focus on this one game allows PlayStation to make
one for each of their games which will bring in a lot of money. Features
such as the plain, thick and bold fonts draw the customer in as well as
the detailed main cover page picture. The cover has used a trick where
you use two specific colours so one of them stands out a lot compared
to colours around it. The designer has done this for the game title and
the sub-titles.

2. The digit magazine uses its own custom font that makes the text look
much more futuristic then the plain bold font used by every other
magazine. The simple blue colour scheme allows the magazine to be
printed using only one colour but many different shades of it. The
catchy title that reads, (the next gadget is you) allows customers to
remember this magazine for their gadgets and inspiring motives.
Even though the magazine does not used a famous celebrity as their
main cover picture, it still draws in much attention through the crafty
detail and ideas that they have included in the cover. The font size is
another feature that is used by many other magazine designers. The
titles are always in a large size so you can see them from far away
and know what magazine it is. The advertisements on the top and
sides show what may be mentioned in the magazine regularly.
The maximum tech magazine uses a famous android comical
character as a eye catcher to bring in customers that know about the
android character for android phones. The plain font that is used
brings out the other features such as the background picture. The two
colours used which hare blue and green are very calm colours
depending on their tone. Having a cover with calm colours instead of
sharp colours. The front cover is meant to tell you what the whole
magazine is about. This magazine does this through the tower of apps
with the android mascot at the top, this is showing that the contents
of the magazine. The locations of all the features in the cover are
always random.
The gadget guide magazine uses bright orange and red colours that
allow pictures to blend in a little to give it a 3D effect. The title and the
other writings have a plain font but are large and sand out from the
pictures. The 3D effect is a feature that captures the customer’s eyes
and also shows what the magazine will be talking about. The cover is
split into pictures with information and the adverts with the main title.
The cover does not just use fancy pictures and deign but also used
literature techniques such as a rhetorical question. This cover also
descries everything that will be mentioned in the other pages of the
magazine.
