I have choose this background colour as the models clothes and the background colour compliment each other. I have also added a bar code onto the bottom right hand corner this is to make it look realistic and professional. The masthead It large and bold to stand out i choose the colour white beacuse it blends in with the colour scheme. All three of my groups magazines have some part of the masthead covered this is so well known and popular with readers and can be reconised without all of the word showing.

This is one of the photos we took, and as a group we considered it for the front cover. We liked the colourful costumes and the background wasn't too busy. We also liked the relaxed and urban poses of the models. However we decided not to use this image because one of the girls is already used in one of our other front covers in the same outfit, and we have to have 3 different issues of the magazine with 3 different images.

This is one of the photographs we considered as a front cover for our magazines. We liked this image as the back ground and the bright funky clothes on the model contrast with each other and make the model the main featue of the magazine. It also looks urban which ties in with the genre of the magazine. This image has the conventions of a normal magazine (rule of third) However the reason we never choose this image was beacuse we wanted the model to be on the other side of the camera shot so it would be simple to put he strapline on the left handside.

This is a simple layout for a magazine. It contains a masthead a main image, a skyline, a kicker and a few strap lines. The magazine has a plain background which makes the main images of the women and the strap lines stand out more.

The masthead is one of the key features of this magazine. It is big and bold which makes it stands out. There is alot of colours in this magazine which isn't a usual convention of a front cover, there is normally three main colours but this front cover is different The blue masthead and fergie's outfit is one of the main colours. There is also green, white red and a vintage style wallpaper in the background. Although there is alot of colours going on in the magazine, the layout is quite simple there is only one main image, the strap lines are plain and straight to the point. I think if there was anymore images it would spoil the front cover and make it look to busy and cramped.

Here is another issue of the rock magazine 'NME'. As you can see from the previous magazine i analysed the magazine editors have kept the colour scheme the same: Red, black, white and bits of yellow. This is so it is recognised by the buyers. Compared to the other magazine, this front cover is quite empty, It has one large kicker and main image. This is what our eyes are drawn to at first because of the rule of third. There is no strap lines which is unusual for magazines because they show the readers what the magazine contains which sells the magazine. But i think that this layout is very effective because it is a well known magazine brand, As you can see half on the mast head is covered this is because the title can be recognised without seeing all of it because it is a popular magazine that is familiar worldwide. The costume that has been chosen for lily Allen reflects the colour scheme of the magazine the red and black compliment each other which makes the magazine stand out.

This is a rock magazine that would target teenagers and Young adults that are into rock music, gossip and artists. There are three main colors in this magazine they are: Red, black and white. The two main things that stand out in this front cover is the Main image and the kicker. The main image has the rule of third principle. It draws the reader in because the women takes up alot of the page and has eye contact with he audience. The women links in with he colour scheme her lipstick is red, her hair is black and her skin is fair which ties in with he rest of the magazine. Also the another thing that stands out is the kicker this is because it is big and bold. The contrast between the black and the white colour theme make it a key feature of the magazine, The font has a worn effect. The whole of the magazine is packed full of information, you can tell this by the kicker, strap lines and skyline.
