Eye-Catching Magazine Cover Design Elements and Techniques
1. I like the bold text that is used I find it eye catching and its appealing to look at.
Using the union jack colours
of Britain gives us a patriotic
feel and makes you want to
look at what’s inside.
A clear colour scheme is
followed throughout the
magazine, it matches with
what the model is wearing and
the colour lipstick applied.
A block quotation is used on the right hand
side of the page, putting the author’s words
into a quotation.
The cover its self isn’t that busy but
it’s built up to look bold by the
mastheads used to fill the page with
the big font that are used.
The mode of address used on this cover
could be seen as sexy and welcoming, it’s
implying that she is rebellious from the
position she has been posed in.
The main colours used on this
magazine front cover is blue, red
white and black, if you look at her top
it’s the union jack therefore
representing England, she is also
smoking, this shows everyday life for
some people as it’s a habit for many.
A release date and issue
number has been added
next to the barcode as
its one of many
magazines made by this
company.
This magazine is a well-known magazine
worldwide and as it has the barcode on the
front it looks more official than those without.
The model chose for this magazine
is suitable to fit the genre as she
looks indie and fits the needs for
what originality that you’d be
looking for.
The barcode is placed on the page so
that it fits in with everything else that
is going on, on the page. So it follows
the code and conversation of
magazines.
