2. Layout and Image
The layout of the magazine has been
set out in order to emphasise the
image being shown. Although the
layout does so, I believe that the
layout of the page looks slightly
cramped as the text and headings
have been pushed to the top of the
page. The image used on the cover
shows clearly what the magazine is
about and what it will feature but is
over crowded and busy making it
overbearing. The cover could’ve
been improved by taking an image
containing a strong subject to help
the magazine stand out and become
more eye-catching and appealing to
readers.
3. Fonts and Extra Features
The fonts used on the cover are all
presented in white making them stand out
against the strong background. The header
of the magazine is presented in a large and
bold font making it not only stand out from
the background but the other text seen on
the front cover. The large text is also eye-
catching, drawing in readers to the
magazine as well as fitting in with the shape
and subject of the image. Different fonts are
used for various different titles upon the
cover giving the page variety as well as
distinguishing a difference between the
many titles and groups of text. A calligraphy
style of font has been used as a sub-heading
on the page. This style of font gives of a very
feminine and encourages the feeling and
image of what the title is saying: ‘Sweet
Sounds of Summer’.
