When looking on the internet for secondary images of Indie music magazine cover pages, I found this magazine. The cover is very simple, the background is plain and there aren't any cover lines. When making my cover page, I want to put cover lines on, as this is how people would be more interested in the magazine; it shows what you are about to read so they can decide weather or not the stories would interest them. However, I really liked the simplicity of the background and the image. The background cover is the same as the colour of the models lips, complimenting them and making them stand out more. The dark make-up, the top the model is wearing and the dark hair piece also all link together. Due to this, it makes these elements stand out more. I think that doing something like this would make my magazine look simple but really effective.
I want to use this magazine for inspiration and ideas when designing and create my own cover. However, due to wanting cover lines, I looked further at more magazine covers to find another one that I liked- with cover lines.
When looking for another magazine cover, I thought this was exactly what I was looking for. The cover lines are neat, organised and there isn't a wide variety of fonts- which I think make it looks better. I also liked the 3 photos to the left of the page- this is an advert of free posters inside- which will be a selling point for the magazine. This is one of the codes and conventions I thought were the best as it makes the reader feel like they're getting more for their money. As I've done another shoot other than Tori's and Charley's (the models I used for my cover page/contents page/double page spread) I can use these here.
