This document reviews the design elements of a wedding magazine cover. It notes that while the strapline and masthead use unconventional colors, the bright pink works for the strapline but not the masthead. The image of the bride is considered conventional but made edgy by a pastel pink chair. The use of alliteration in the cover lines like "defining details" makes the text more appealing. However, the placement of the barcode looks amateurish and like a student project rather than a polished cover.
