7. This Hip Hop and Culture mag, ‘JUICE’ has a very rigid, continuous, and very bold house style, the type faces of the masthead, main cover line and pull quotes are all very similar. Especially in terms of colour. The main image is very chilled which may relate to the type of culture and music featured inside of the magazine.

8. The design of this cover is my favourite of all, I find the use of symmetry in an original way with the writing very stylish. The colours used, simply red and black make it feel full of action and excitement. I am seriously considering using a similar technique for my magazine cover as I love the way it stands out so much.

9. Immediately this cover gives the impression of underground, dub-step music, very bass-ey and urban. All of the type face is the same, the only difference is the mast head has a slash through it, stylizing it. I like the way the type face however changes colour on alternate lines, which seems like a consistent rule in many magazine covers I have analysed. Also, the way the text is slanted diagonally is very cool.
