Magazine cover (M magazine - Clint Eastwood)


This is a cover for M magazine. This issue is focussed on the actor Clint Eastwood. This is shown to the reader by a picture of Clint Eastwood in the centre of the cover and his name written on the cover. The font style for the letter M represents how people can identify their magazine. I like the idea of having the name of the magazine in the top left corner of the cover because it will be one of the first things readers see when they see it behind rows of other magazines. The text is the bottom right corner does not stand out as much as the magazine name. I think that the font style for the text 'Clint Eastwood' does could be bolder or thicker because it is hardly visible compared to the other text.

For the colours used on the magazine, the background colour is a greyish blue. The colour of the shirt we can see is a darker blue which stands out from the colour of the background. This is so the reader focusses on the picture rather than the background. The colour of the text is mainly white. This is because white is clearly visible on darker colours. The text under the M is half white and half black. I think that it is not a good idea to mix the colours of a single piece of text but instead have different colours for different text.

The ideas I can use for my magazine that I have gathered from this magazine is having the name of my magazine being written in the top left of the cover. I would also make my logo font style unique so it will interest the reader. I would also have an image of the person or people I am going to use for this magazine in the centre of the magazine.
