Comparing Front Covers

I have created 4 different types of magazines for my task, so I am going to compare the magazines so I can choose the magazine which will be best for my front cover.


This is the first front cover I have created.
I used a Billboard front cover as my template to guide me
through of how to set out my magazine.
The things that are good about this front cover is that
it has a house style throughout the text and background
colours. It has big bold clear text so it catches the
readers/buyers eye. I have included the bar code, issue number and price at
the bottom of the page. The bad things about this magazine
cover is the position of my model Rachel, as she is stood on the side
and in other magazines the model is always facing
the audience giving the editor more space to put texts and other little images.


This is my second front cover I created. The things that
are good about this front cover image is the position of my model,
she is looking straight towards the audience and her body is facing
the same way giving me more space to put text and information on the front
cover. The text is in line with the masthead. The bad things about this magazine
is the font for the text, instead of sticking to one style of text I have chosen 5 different
types of fonts throughout the front cover whereas Billboard or vibe would have no more
than 3 different styles of text.



This is my third front cover I have created. This front cover has
the same advantages and disadvantages as the second front cover i have
created. The only thing different about this one is that I have chosen images from google to make
it look like my model (Rachel) is lying on a rock that is sitting on grass
which makes the image look unrealistic.

This is my fourth front cover I have created. It has similar
advantages and disadvantages as the first front cover I have crated. But this front cover
I have created gives the illusion that Rachel is stood by that Christmas tree in the background making
the front cover look more realistic and professional than the others. The colour of the text I have
chosen represent Christmas as it is near that time of year.
