Cover to Cover

I began researching covers of magazines with similar taste. Filmfare magazine, The Juice, and Platform magazine has a clean cut style that focuses mostly on the featured model, usually a close up or medium shot to feel more intimate to the actor or artist that is looking directly into the camera. Other western magazines like Garage and Fader uses similar conventions on their covers. Here are some examples that I can model my cover after.























While Garage and Fader magazine both explore culture along with music, I want my magazine to focus more on the artists in relation to culture whether it be music, art fashion or anything else. Filmfare seems to be too specific and has an older target audience. My best bet is going to be Platform magazine and The Juice for these conventions in the cover.
