Magazine+Covers

1.) Life Magazine (1)  Vogue Magazine (2)   2.) Both covers have a woman on the front, and both are true to their colour scheme. Life Magazine is red and white, while Vogue Magazine has matched its colours with Emma Watson's lipstick and bracelet.  3.) In Life Magazine, the main story is about hanging out with the cast of "Avatar" (there are exclusive photos). The lady on the front cover is named Zoe Saldana, and is a co-star in the movie. In Vogue Magazine, Emma Watson is on the cover, and the main story is about her life after "Harry Potter," however the biggest font is about the "must-have looks" for fall.  4.) In Life Magazine, one design principle is the use of a very minimal colour scheme. Zoe is seen wearing red, and the magazine logo and bottom border is in red. Some of the writing is also red as well, and some is grey. The background is completely white. In Vogue Magazine, there is lots of colour, and the fonts match the colour but don't go overboard. Depth of field is apparent as Emma's hands are out of focus. The rule of thirds is also apparent in both these magazine covers.  The Evolution of the Magazine Cover 5.) One characteristic of early magazines was black and white photography, as colour was not available in photos yet. Also, topics were on the interests of the age, for instance, WWII.  6.)  7.) The purpose of cover lines is to draw the reader's attention and to make the reader want to buy the magazine in order to read the whole story.  8.)An integrated cover __My Magazine Cover __
