Front cover Investigations

During investigating and analysing these front covers i found it easy to spot the flaws and errors in some of the front covers, however there were some front covers that were really good and which i liked the look of, i could use these as ideas when i come to producing my own front cover.

What have i learnt?:
- That the text is better suited if its justified down the margin.

- Depending on who the audience is, it is vital to research as you do not know what type of audience you are appealing to, if you get the wron type of house style or language used within the magazine, and are appealing to an age group that do not fit, for example; using bright, exoitic neon colours for a group of people aged between 50 - 60 years of age. They just dont work. You'd want to have colours that are chique and elegant as it is a mor eprefered layout for a more elegant age group.

- The house style has to be appropriate and be the same throughout the magazine. They have to link and match so it looks like its all part of one magaizne and not random selections of pictures and articles that have been placed on a apage together. If the house style is not the same throughout it can look messy and eveyrthing else onthe page can look terrible and out of place. If i don't want this to occur i will have to find colours that suited to my theme.
