Magazine cover Genre ideas

Magazine Genre ideas

For our magazine work we have to first pick a genre of music. There are many which I would like pick but i have to only pick one.

I would like to choose from the genres of:

Pop
Electronic Dance Music (EDM)
House music

Here are a few examples of magazine covers of the genre of pop:

Top of the Pops, pop magazine has a very busy from cover. The masthead is bold, fills the width of the page and overlaps the picture. The colour scheme matches the colours of clothing that Selena is wearing. There are article titles shaped around the picture of Selena, however one article title covers up her arm. This helps fix the focus on Selena's face and shirt. There is also a few small photos, which show people who the band and artists are.











Here are some examples of Electronic Dance Magazine cover:

MixMag's front cover is very busy. It doesn't have a focus point on the picture, this is because the article titles overlap most of the picture and so you don't see all of the picture, however they avoided putting article titles near their heads. The colour scheme is also partially matching their outfits with the colour white. The colour scheme is bold even without bright colours, it contrasts with the colours of the background.




Here are some magazine covers of house music:

This magazine cover has a bold colour scheme which is red, black and yellow. The masthead is behind the picture, this then puts a focus point on the picture. The article titles are placed around her face putting a focus point on her face. However there is article titles covering her body so the focus point is her face.
