Most of the magazine front covers that I analysed almost completely cloned each other, using roughly the same style of template and features, this is because a front cover needs to have a Masthead, Central image, Coverlines, Barcode, Date and Price to look completed and professional. The first magazine front cover I analysed was for ‘NME’. The model the magazine used is a deceased super star who won having been nominated for ’60 years of NME’. Just like an ordinary magazine the models mode of address is direct and intimate between themselves and the reader. This cover looks successful as the yellow on the black and white background contrasts really well together capturing the style they were trying to achieve. The second music magazine font cover I analysed was for ‘Wonderland’. Their model like before has her mode of address at the centre of the camera which makes it feel as the reader that she is looking at you. ‘Wonderland’ have been extremely clever when designing tis front cover and all the colours compliment each other professionally and sophistically. For the final front cover I analysed the model isn't actually a singer however she has done a lot of work making collaborations and in film has been renowned for her voice. The model is once again looking directly at the audience through the camera, this follows the typical guidelines of a every magazine. I will take some inspiration from these magazines and how they layout the covers to make them look professional, interesting and intriguing.
