Magazine Front Covers





I'm going to research different magazine front covers with different genres to see the differences with each style.

With the rock magazines they tend to have bold and bright titles with busy pictures.


The Classic fm magazine has a softer appearance with brighter photos and less detail on the front. The font is italic relating the style.

Most magazines had interviews to read but the style of questions are very different with each magazine. Rock magazines ask questions that could involve 'gigs' etc whereas a classical magazine will ask about concerts or orchestras.
I am in an orchestra which is why doing a classical magazine would be so much easier as i have experienced it.
Magazines can often offer promotions or competitions which can go towards selling the magazine. The classic magazines can offer CD's or concert tickets whereas rock magazines can offer winning signed instruments and sometimes tickets to the latest concerts.
Because I'm doing a classic magazine I will probably do a competition to win tickets to a concert as part of the front cover.
