I have found three magazines that aren't necessarily regional magazines, yet they will still be able to influence my decisions of the front page of my own magazine.
I am somewhat struggling to choose a font that is suitable for my anchorage text or main cover line.
Here is this edition of CLASH:
What's important to notice here is that the font for the masthead completely contrasts with the cover star, through the colour and the type. It is big and bold which contradicts the idea of a young, quite timid looking cover star.
I like the way the same font and cover is used throughout, it creates a level of consistency which makes the magazine look very professional.
I need to choose a font, and colour that link to everything else on the page.
Here is this edition of More:
I was initially attracted to More magazine due to the choice of colour. The cover stars name has been used in a different colour to everything else on the page, but the word beauty... I assume this was a deliberate connection. I may use this idea on my own front page.
I also like the fact that even though there are varied fonts on the page, they are used in different spaces making it easier to navigate for the reader.
Finally here is this edition of Entrepreneur:
This magazine captured my attention due to the simplicity. I like the way that certain colours are used to tie stories together, to make a connection.
In the same way, two fonts have been used alone. One for the masthead and one for everything else on the page. I think this looks fantastic.
I like the choice of colours, black red and grey. They compliment one another, and actually suit the style of the magazine. Giving it a very straight to the point jist.
I am going to take on board elements of all of these magazines.
From Clash, the same font in the masthead and the main cover story.
From More, the choice in colours to link stories and elements together.
From Entrepreneur, the positioning of font and the true thought behind the colours.
