Analysis of front cover

I then also thought it would be a good idea to analyse a music magazine front cover! As I would also benefit from this as I could then know what makes a music magazine front cover look good to the readers and what I think makes a magazine cover look bad!
I think this music magazine front cover looks really professional! and when I first saw this image I thought the company had done very successful. There are many reasons why I thought this about the magazine.
The first thing that attracted me to this magazine was the fonts used! I also thought they had used there space well, none of the text is pushed next to eachother so you are unable to see which heading is which! I also think the theme colour they have used also makes the magazine look professional and catchy!
I also think the reason this magazine front cover looks professional is down to the image they have used! I really like it when magazine's only include one image on there front cover - usually the background! As I think the image is the first thing that catches the readers eye! So I think magazine's look there best when the image they have used does not have a background! This automatically grabs the readers attention, just to look at the person on the magazine and there feautres.
I do not like about this magazine front cover that they have put there text at an angle! I think this makes the magazine look unprofessional and it does not really catch my eye as I have to turn my head to be able to read it properly! I also think they thought this technique would work as a unique and new idea, but I dont think it works well with the magazine itself! I also think it does not work well with the image used on this magazine as the image itself has been put at a slight angle!
Overall I think this magazine front cover looks really effective and I am basing my own magazine on this type of magazine - Similar genre, and I want to carry out the same effects on my own magazine to catch people's eyes!
