when doing my research into magazine front covers I have found that it is particularly important that the magazine is appealing and eye-catching to the potential buyer. This can by the style of text, font, colour, framing and overall design of the magazine front cover.
My magazine is a music magazine with a hybrid genre, it is aimed at 16-19 year old of both genders therefore it will have a large readership. With the age group being of the ages 16-19 year old the front cover must be fun and lively to attract the reader.
The front cover of a magazine will normally have a well known star which is relevant to the audience and who the reader aspires to be and/or idolises, with using one main image this has a greater impact and is easier for the eye to process quickly. The models pose is also a main factor to the appeal of the potential buyer, for example on a pop teen magazine a super-smiler pose will be shown. This is a full face shot with a big smile, the model will show confidence.
For my magazine front cover I would have my model in an invitational pose with emphasised eyes, mysterious look and a slight smile. This will appeal to my audience being both genders.different model poses I have found are the chocolate box pose: a full face shot focusing on flawless beauty, the super-smiler pose : full face shot with a big smile and confident look and the invitational pose:emphasised eyes, a mysterious look and a hint of a smile.
