CLASH COVERS

I like these covers because they're stylish and simple, and they use coloured background that compliemtn the image of the artist on the front. The artists images are close ups, and i love the white font that tells the readers what's in the issue. The list is classic and small, making the magazine look high-end and it also creates the vintage/classic look i want to portray in my magazine.

The magazine covers adhere to the rule of thirds, however the small amounts of text on some covers means it is more simplistic and not crowded, which is essentially what i want STATE magazine to look like.

I like the mast head and how it stands out but is still white, due to the fact the letters are bold and thick. The barcode is smaller and thinner, therefore less obvious on the front cover, and the proce and issue number are displayed underneath.

I like the use of an achored title, as 'Bombshell' and 'Soul Bearer' are catchy, and the font is unique and stands out as it is used on every cover, giving Clash magazine an individual style.

The close up of the model on the cover is also breaking conventions as usually a Mid-Shot is used, and this is why i like the cover, as it is more fashionable and model, and stands out against other magazines coveres, because of both the fonts, models and covers.

The colours are also toned and pale, yet some coveres feature contrasting colours that are bold and bright in comparison to the others.
