Magazine Cover Planning

L.O/ To create an effective magazine cover using appropriate codes and conventions.

• Coverlines
• Small Details (barcode, price, etc)
• Colour Palette

1) Style Guide ➡

2) Title: FOGUE

3) Colour Palette: Green, Orange, Black & White.

4) Main Image: Girl stood in front of camera with one hand on her hip, one hand flipping her hair over her head and looking at the camera with no real expression.

5) Small Details: Coverlines explaining what is in the magazine, Price (£3.99), Date (November 2016). A mix between serif and san-serif fonts.

Typography

1. There are 4 different font styles on my style guide 
2. The cover lines are made to look different to each other through different fonts and colours.
3. There are some cover lines that are in block capitals which i think is to do with the font style. There are also some cover lines in sentence case.
4. Generally, all my cover lines are rounded instead of angular. This links into the target audience being feminine.
5. The cover lines are organised to the side and bottom of the main image, some overlap onto the image but you can still see it very clearly.
