The Word Front Cover

The Word:

The background of “The Word” front cover like the other five magazine front cover I have looked at uses a picture of a person a their main image and background. From this it shows me that using a image for the background is more appealing and helps to target a range of different audience. The main theme colours of this front cover are white, blue, black and red, which are used throughout the colour to highlight text, lines and pictures. There are three other pictures on the front cover, two other which are along the side in a blue box to display and show back up the text underneath. The third picture is a Cd cover which is located in the bottom centre and left third of the page.
The use of layers makes the cover look more appealing as although there are layers on top of each other each layer it easy to see, and makes the other one stand out.
The headline and title of the front cover is bold and stands out the most compared to the rest of the text, this is down to the fact it is spilt into two different text shapes. The majority of the text is written in Serif, with bits of text written in San Serif
