Magazine covers

This is a magazine front cover called GTlife and I think it is a good example of a magazine cover because it is simple and instantly recognisable as a car magazine.

However because of the lack of text on the page you cannot tell what the magazine is going to have inside. To improve this I would have anchorage and subtitles titles so that readers know what is going to be inside.

The layout throughout the magazine is kept so that you can see it is all part of the same magazine.

The picture used on the front is a very good action shot which I think would attract people to pick it up and buy it.

This magazine called Caribbean Reef magazine uses a very eye catching image of a deep sea reef bed. Which is what the magazine is all about, this theme is kept throughout the whole magazine making it look professional and also makes it easy to see its all part of the same magazine.

The masthead logo is unique and recognisable as to what it represents.

The magazine also has headings which tell you what is going to be inside the magazine. This could draw in new customers if they see a title which interests them and could potentially increase their sales.

The use of colour has been kept to a minimum, making it look professional and also draws your eyes to the centre of the main image.
