Researching magazine covers.

 I really like this magazine cover and think that it is very eye-catching, my reason for this is that the girl has bright yellow hair - not something that you see every day.

I like the fact that the girl on the front is not your average stereo typical girl, she dresses and looks different.

I really like the way that the photographer has used the reflection in the girls glasses to show what she is looking at - instead of using the girls eyes which almost all magazines do. I may use this technique in my magazine when I come to take pictures of James.

This magazine just like all others uses pugs - bar code and issue number.

I like the styles of the mast head as they have put a line through the word 'indie' I am not sure why but I believe that by doing this it adds a good effect and emphasises the fact that this magazine is different to any other.

If I was to improve this magazine I would add advertisements to show what is inside the magazine instead of not having any.

The quote on the bottom right 'come and see the blinding' links to the picture of the girl as she is wearing glasses/sun glasses - meaning that she is looking at something bright? Something she can't look at without glasses.

I like the back ground for this cover as it is blurred - meaning that all the focus is on the girl.
