Magazine+Cover

2) They both contain a female modelling for the cover, and both are looking directly at the camera. Both of the magazine titles use a bold font which sticks out with the contrasting colour. 3) Vogue's cover story is about Australia's net top model so they have her posing on their cover, while Life is about a movie actor, Colleen Townsend, wearing more casual wear. 4) In Vogue's magazine cover image, the picture of the model has symmetrical balance, colour contrast between her hair and her clothes, and triangles with her arms, hair, and dress. Also, the golden lining of the couch behind her frames her upper half, accentuating her striking features. Unlike Vogue, Life seems less posed and more natural. The actress's face is more rounded by her curly up-do, the simplicity in this photo is quite evident along with the balance between both halves of her face. This photo uses depth of field so that the focus is greater on the actress. It also has a sense of diagonals with her simple shirt on an angle. 5) Early covers mainly used pop-art and lots of vibrant colour to catch the reader's eye. They often showed the theme of the magazine on the cover, like knitting or housekeeping, instead of just having someone model for the front cover. They were hand-drawn until cameras came out, and were often about how to do female duties such as cooking or childcare. They reflected the female role from that period of time and most often then not contained a female or children on the cover.

It's a cover that held a beautiful, clear image which allowed it to be presentable like a poster if need be and was often used in sophisticated covers between the mid 1920's to 1950's. The striking pictures were used to draw in readers. [] 7) Cover lines are also used to draw in readers. They were the "other" option of a magazine cover in the 1940's, and tried to gain people's attention through interesting headlines. There are many different options on placement of the cover lines, some more to the side and others directly on the image for impact. Many magazines such as Vogue changed dramatically from poster covers to including cover lines to keep up with competition. [] 8) Integrated covers became popular around the end of the 20th century. They contain a model or models in a position that creates space in the photo for cover lines, while still keeping the model appealing to the audience. The cover lines are bright and impactful to catch the eye, and covering just on the edges of the model. The colours on the cover are all coordinated to create a sense of harmony. Usually, the model's head covers the logo, and the main cover line crosses across the model with large font size. All this creates a magazine which not only has a picture to draw in the audience but many cover lines to attract the readers, although now the cover image shows less of a story. []

9) Placement of the cover lines affects where the impact of the cover is. If the text is more to the side, the picture is usually the most impactful part of the cover. If the cover lines are in banners or directly over the picture (ex. a fist), the text gives off the most meaning with the picture supplementing it. 10) Outside the Box: the cover lines are separate from the cover image; cover image was usually contained in a box Inside the Box: cover lines are placed in a box which lays on top of the image Columns: vertical column(s) in which cover lines are placed; columns are usually colourful Zones: logo, cover lines, and cover image all in differing, vertical areas; no overlap Banners and Corners: cover lines which are placed in banners which go across the image; banners usually angled in a corner; seen as attention grabbing and "loud" Unplanned and Planned Spaces: cover lines which fit into an area of space around the image which does not impede unto the image; empty spaces are usually thought out ahead of time but sometimes just happen
