After analysing and annotating three front covers I have tried to discover the common features of a front cover of a magazine. I have done this research so that I can apply these features to the product that I will be producing (Music Magazine).. With this research that I have just completed, along with the research that I had looked at during the prelim task, I feel as though now I fully understand the features of a front cover of a magazine and will be able to apply them to magazine I will be producing. Below are print screens of the three researches that I conducted recently:
After showing this research I have released there are some key elements to following features of a double page spread within a magazine. These are things such as; keeping to a strict border line, using images and graphics to make the page more attractive and giving an extra insight into what is in the magazine, using images where the character is looking at the audience, using a variety of colours and fonts, the use of drop caps, avoiding dead space, , the use of cover lines and to use a masthead to clearly display what the page is and try to make this masthead clear to the audience. All of these code and conventions are ones that I will be trying to apply when creating my first drafts.
