Differences between Front Covers

I love the front cover on the right hand side as it is colorful without being to full on and it has some class about it. It really highlights the blond hair how it is half covering the magazines name and how it is alumnus yellow.  The writing also stands out as it is on a white background and in in pink as well as in bubble writing. The magazine front cover on the left hand side is cartoon and makes the magazine seem like it is for a younger age then intended. There is so much going on that the reader doesn't know where to look first as it is too complicated. Overall i prefer the magazine front cover in the right hand side as i think it is more professional.

The magazine cover on the right hand side is black and white which catches the readers eye and just focuses on one person with her name written across her in gold which is very effective as you look her name straight after the pictures but is in gold so you eyes are not drawn to it first. The magazine on the left hand side is a cartoon which I don't think is very effective. It is colorful which does stand out but doesn't convince the reader to buy it. It advertises a free CD which is good and encourages readers to buy the magazine if they get something free with it. Overall I prefer the front cover on the right hand side because it has a lot more things on the front cover with out being crowded and also has a little bit of color . 


The Magazine Cover on the left hand side is colorful and the picture is very focused on her eyes. The magazine cover on the right hand side is in black and white and focuses more on the surroundings and the guitar rather then the person. It has created the effect of old fashion times when all people sang with was a guitar. The name of the magazine both stands out in the front covers and they both advertise the main person or band the magazine is head lining. Overall I prefer the front cover on the left hand side as I believe it stands out more and the front cover on the right hand side doesn't stand out as much as it is not really black and white, it is faded black and white. It would be a lot more effective if it wasn't faded, and would stand out a lot more.
