Examples of front cover designs

I searched the internet for front covers i liked and that stood out to me. I commented on what i liked about them and what i didn't like.

I like this front cover as it has many bright colors because is the summer edition. It has many things writing on the front telling the readers what is inside but still makes the reader look directly at the main picture as it is jumping out. I like it how it is only one person as it really focuses the attention on the guitar so the readers know straight away it is a music magazine.

The cover design on the right hand side is very intense. It has been done with good lighting and is just a simple profile picture which is very powerful and effective. You immediately look in to his eyes. I really like how this front cover is black and white it shows his shadows and emotions on his face. 

The front cover on the left really stands out, your eyes are immediately drawn to the bright red lips in the centre of the magazine. Then slowly you realise the eyes in the corner of the picture. Because the picture is separate from the title it makes the reader notice the picture and then the title this is because the title is on a white background and the picture is so colorful.
