The document discusses the front cover designs of several magazines, including Kent Life Magazine and Cornwall Today. It notes that both magazines use large landscape shots as their main image to immerse readers. While Cornwall Today keeps its covers minimal, Kent Life provides more details. The document also examines contents pages and finds magazines generally use colorful designs to portray their locations positively.

1. MAIN TASK VIEWED LIST
FRONT COVER

2. • Both Kent Life Magazine and Cornwall today make use of
longshots as their main image, making the location more
inviting and immersive for the reader.
• The Cornwall Today magazine has a more minimalistic
approach to their front covers, relying on the image to
draw in the reader. Kent life on the other hand decides to
inform the reader.
• The Kent Life Magazine also makes use of secondary
images, to give better insight on the main contents of the
magazine. Whilst Cornwall Today doesn’t use secondary
images, the minimal text used also informs the reader of
some of the main contents of the issue.

3. • Unlike previous examples, these ones tend to move away
from using long shots of landmarks and nature and make
more use of close up or mid shots of people (even Tom
Hardy and Ed Sheeran) and wildlife.
• These magazines are also less minimalistic and are less
centred around local wildlife and nature, especially the
Hampshire Style Magazine.
• All the Magazine designs so far appear to be very
colourful, no doubt to the show each local area in as bright
a light as possible, or to make the place seem welcoming.

7. Due to the apparent scarce availability of good high quality
online images of contents pages, I have had to make do with
the current ones I have found. However there is just enough
of a range for me to conclusively evaluate them for codes
and conventions.
