Researching magazines - mojo

The most outstanding part of this cover is the girls eyes and mouth. This is because they have been made brighter, especially the whites in her eyes.

The mast head occupies most of the top part of the cover. The colour of the mast head is white, I like the mast head as it is a really nice font, also the white contrasts really well with the pink.
I would definitely consider using this font style for my cover as I think it looks really nice, would suit a lot of genres, is readable and looks formal.

There are 10 cover stories on this cover, although there are a lot, it does not look cluttered, it is set out nice and neat. Each story has a different font, this grabs the reader attention to different parts of the cover.

This cover is most likely for girls, as it is very pink and girly. Although some of the text is on banners none of them are transparent.

The picture does not link to the headline as the headline is a made-up word. The girl on the cover is looking into the camera, this makes her look quite mysterious, her facial expression emphasises this.
The girl is sitting with her shoulders forward but her head turned towards the camera.

The shot type is a medium close up, I like this and would consider using this for my cover as it is a very successful shot as most of the magazines now-a-days use it.

Only the side parts of the image are covered by text, the rest of the image is showing.
This picture is also sharp and clear, this again is good as no one will want to buy a magazine with a low quality image.
The picture is in colour but the main colour for this cover is pink. The main part of the image fills the whole page, and is located in the middle.

I cannot see what the girl is wearing but I assume it is something either white or pink as that is the main colour. I think that if 'girly girls' are reading this then her outfit will appeal to the target audience as they may wear something like this woman would.

I think that this was taken in a studio as the lighting on her face looks like it was done on purpose.eg. a reflector was used.

There are no props in this cover but there is a free CD, having free items in a magazine will make people want to buy it as everyone likes free things.

The house colour for this magazine is pink. The writing, the girls lips and her hair make the house style.

There are no props for this magazine, I think if they were going to use a prop it would of had to be something pink so that it carries on with the theme.

This cover like the other two also follow convention as it has a bar code and a mast head.

My favourite part from this magazine is the fact that they have used only one colour but all different shades, I like this idea as it means that everything will match and there is no risk of putting two colours together that don't match.
There is not a part of this cover that I do not like, I think the cover is very well presented and very neat. The person who made this has clearly made sure that it does not end up looking messy, everything has its own place- making it easy to read.
