Front covers analysed

1. The masthead is in a different unique font than the cover lines are and
its also at the top off the page in a large bold font, the reason for this is
so it stands out and captures peoples attention.
The cover lines never go onto the models face as usually the main
focus off the magazine will be the person featuring on the front cover
therefore their face needs to be shown. Some off the cover liens are
also in different fonts, sizes and colours which is to help it look better.
The reason for the cover lines is to tell people what's inside the
magazine and to also attract people into buying it therefore they will
put the more interesting stuff on the front.
The background is simple and not to much is going on as if there was
the cover lines would be hard to read and wouldn’t stand out.
Usually most front covers will have a blank block off colour in the
background but in some cases like this there's a picture instead
which will most likely be blurred and less intense.
The price will be on the front off the magazine usually, as that’s what
people want to look at first so they can see whether they are willing to
pay or not before they begin to read the cover lines.

2. The masthead is the centre off attention as its in large bold writing and
a unique font, the reason most magazine companies have their own
unique font is so that people who look at it will automatically know its
Elle as soon as they see the font.
The background is a block off colour instead off a picture. The
reason for this is so the cover lines and masthead stand out
and are clear and easy to read.
On most magazine front covers if they feature a celebrity the name
off the person will be in bold font. This is so people know who she
and what she talks about as by doing this people might be more
interested in buying It.
In most cases the barcode will be at the bottom off the magazine
cover but it can also be on the back.
