The main cover image is a Korean
singer which shows that it is a
magazine based on music. The
singer’s shirt is contrasted with the
background to make it look aesthetic.

intense look by staring right in the
camera’s eye with blank facial
expressions.

the magazine
The title is in white color on a
purple background and the font is
serif font. This seems to be a
musical magazine as the title
states the name of a band. The
color contrast of the font and the
background seems really
attractive.

‘Korean Culture Magazine’ in
sanserif font which clearly means
that this magazine is about Korean
culture

The main cover image is the point of view of the photographer. The
expressions elaborates that this model is extremely happy and living in
the moment. Sea in the background and her messy hair shows that she’s
on a beach and maybe dancing along the wind as her hand is in the air.
This is a medium closeup shot.
The way photographer is holding her hand gives a romantic touch. Her
bright smile states that she’s incredibly happy and the sunlight shining on
her face makes her look more spontaneous and it looks like it’s inspired
from a travel photography campaign shown here
