Analysing magazine front covers

·         This Vogue magazine has a vintage feel to it, with the type of clothing and the style of font being used.

·         The colours are quite subtle but using a vibrant red to make the key words stand out.

·         The layout is not too complicated and the main focus is the picture.

·         Using italic writing makes the magazine seem more feminine

·         The background to this NME magazine is very eye catching and the background gives it texture.

·         This texture also creates a shadow which blends in with the picture and fits the vibe and the theme of the front cover.

·         Using different shades of metallic, to create futuristic feel.

·         The use of vibrant yellow grips your attention and draws you to the main parts of this week’s issue.

·         The picture and the background of this Empire publication blends well together, giving it a vibe that the main image is coming out of the page.

·         The s econdary images show what else is in this magazine issue.

·         Using different font sizes indicates the main key words in the cover.

·         I think the layout of the pictures to the side looks like a comic strip.
