Front Cover Deconstructions

As part of my research into front covers, I have deconstructed 3 front covers of existing music magazines which are similar to the genre of magazine I will be creating myself.

The highlighted annotations are my opinions on features of the magazines, and how these existing covers have influenced my own ideas.

By doing this I have found many more conventions of a front cover that I will need to include in my own work, such as a consistent house style, and found out more about what sort of layouts, images and colour schemes I like on a front cover which I can incorporate into my own designs.
