Cover Analysis

Magazine Research

Above is a collage of magazine covers with colour schemes that i feel would work great for my magazine, they all have common features, all containing black and white, this i feel helps to keep the magazine classic looking, like Vogue for instant, yet they all have a different colour splashed against the black and white, to add interest and colour to the cover. The colour scheme i am going to use for my magazine, are going to be Black,White and Orange, or Black,White and Gold.

In the picture above, is all the fonts from DaFont.com that i found that i feel would work as the fonts for my magazine. I feel 'La Belle Aurore' font would work really well for my masthead font, and for the coverlines i like the font 'Indie Flower' 'The girl next door'. I feel their all interesting enough for my magazine but also have a classic touch, being script like and girly.

For my photograph ideas, i wanted to combine the images on the right hand side of the collage above, the grubby band look, with the photos on the left hand size, the glamorous female solo photos. My chosen photograph idea for the front cover, is two male band member and a female lead singer in the back of a vintage car, the lead singer slightly forward from the other members, looking straight into the camera, and the band members with hoods over the eyes.
