5. What both these covers have in common is their elegance
and simplicity. Both of the models are not wearing many
adornments but are rather communicating to the audience
through facial expressions and body language. The
background is not striking and even though the colours
are opposite to each other (i.e. silver and gold) both of
them are soft. The typography is in sync with the
photograph as well as with each other. Even though
different colours have been used for different stories, they
all seem connected. The focus on the cover story is
simply done by increasing the font size.
9. Even though both of these content pages are not of
couture magazines, they inspire me as they are not too
elaborate yet they serve their purpose. Everything present
in the magazine is shown and there is no reason for any
confusion. By using a plain background they have
ensured the page is not overwhelming with too many
details calling for attention. Readability is taken into
account and thus the font used is easy to read. There is
also a use of pictures which captivates the interests of the
reader.
13. Both of these double spreads have used pictures to
emphasize the story that are representing. There is
minimal use of colour, except for in the pictures. They
inspire me because I feel that strong, bold pictures can
show a reader exactly how strong your story is. A picture
is able to present what even a thousand words might not
be able to. Hence, even though there is alot of text in both
the layouts, the importance given to pictures makes the
pages look interactive and interesting. Your eyes will not
be bored when skimming over the text.
