I researched some magazine covers to help me come up with some ideas for my acoustic magazine. I found the 'Elle' magazine cover to be quite interesting. The cover shows lots of conventions. The main image placed in the centre of the magazine cover is of rihanna a well-known singer who has been made to look straight into the camera purposely so that it looks like she is looking straight at the reader, catching their attention. Also there are different font sizes placed on the cover, the biggest fonts pointing out the most important things to read about in the magazine and the smaller fonts showing the least important points but to read them anyway. I like how two different colours are used making the cover less boring and more eye-catching.

I also found that the 'Vogue' magazine cover was interesting. This cover also shows many conventions of a magazine. It has the main image of 'Jennifer Aniston' lookling into the camera catching the readers attention which is common for a magazine cover to have, but the uncommon thing about this image is that is has a background, when usually the person is cut out and placed on the cover. This makes the magazine more unique and less boring. Different sized headings are used to point out which bits are most important to read and which are the least important. The bigger fonts being the most important and the smaller fonts being the least important.

I have decided that when i create my acoustic magazine, i would like to use the idea of bigger and smaller fonts, and for the main image i will make the person look straight into the camera to catch the readers attention. I will also use a few different colours on my page to make it less boring and more eye-catching.
