Transcript of 3 front covers
I like this magazine font fover because it hasnt followed the usual front cover rules,
for example the masthead isnt along the top of the cover it is going down the side.
This could be because when magazines are stacked on a shelf it is the left hand
side of the cover that you see, so people will straight away see the title "Woofah"
the placement of the title could also connote the randomness of dubstep and drum
and bass music. The cover lines are also not where they would usually be on a
magazine, they are written sideways on the bottom on the cover, the way they are
written makes the lines look like a volume control on an audio player, this isntantly
links to loud music. The model on the image is staring straight out of the picture
making eye contact with the readers to engage them in to picking up the magazine.
The colour scheme is good for the magazine because the yellow stands out and
contrasts well against the white, because the writing is on its side the colours
would need to be very different to save confusion when reading the cover lines.
The yellow and white also stands out well against the dark background. The font
on the magazine cover is very simple, this is probably again to make sure it isn't
too hard to read the cover lines as the are already on there side.
This magazine is also a 'Woofah' magazine. It is similar to the other cover in a way
that it hasn't followed the usual magazine cover set out. The title is again down the
side of the magazine, this could be so the title is easily seen when stacked on the
shelfs in shops or the placement of the title could also connote the randomness of
drum and bass or dubstep music. Like the other magazine the cover lines are
written along the bottom of the cover, the are written diagonally, this could also
connote how random drum and bass music is. The font is very simple so it isn't too
complicated to read as the lines are already diagonal with a eye catching blue and
white colour theme that stands out well against the dark background. The main
image is a man smiling with a microphone. The microphone connotes the man is a
musician and the fact he is smiling shows that he enjoys the drum and bass music
he produces and it makes him happy. The magazine has a good selling line "Bass
warfare with the BOMB SQUAD" the words bomb squad needs to stand out as it
lures the people to pick up the magazine so it is written in bold capitals.
This magazine cover has followed the usual cover layout unlike the other two. The
main image is of three men standing making eye contact with the audience, this is
so that a connection is made between the model and the reader. The men are all
wearing different coloured clothes that stand out against the bright orange
background. The masthead is written in bold white writing to stand out against the
background. The main cover line is written in blue in the middle of the cover with
a different font to the rest of the writing, all the randomness of the magazine could
connote the randomness of dubstep or drum and bass music. In the bottom right of
the cover is the lure. In a bright pink circle it tells you to text in to win something,
this stands out against the rest of the cover and makes people want to by the
magazine even more. A link to the website of the magazine is put in the cover
lines, it is written in a black box to stand out. This magazine cover has too many
different colours on it, it is too busy so your eye doesn't know what to look at and
the fonts used are too hard to read. This isn't a very good magazine cover
