Update on initial ideas for front cover

This is my updated version of my initial idea for my magazine front cover. I have use the conventions I have picked up from analyzing the other magazine font covers and applied them to mine.

Mojo contents page analysis

This contents page is left justified, all the pictures are on the left side of the page and all the writing begins on the left as appose to the right when it is on the right. This layout makes the condense page look clear and concise making the information easy to view and interpretate. This is known as the "blocky look"; unfussy and masculine.
For my magazine I think I'm going to use a more image dominated look as I don't think the blocky format goes well with my genre as it looks too formal and boring. I would refer less of a minimalist approach and make it more fitting with the front cover.

The top contributors have been shown at the bottom of this page. This is a convention of contents pages - they usually show a bit of insight to either the writer of an article of a photographer.
For my magazine I think I will copy this convention as I have noticed it have been used in most contents pages of music magazines crediting the contributors.

A three colour scheme has also been used. The three colour scheme is perhaps the most common convention of any magazine as it is just generally more aesthetically pleasing. Too many colours and it looks tacky and too busy.
I will definitely be using a three colour scheme through my magazine as it is a classic convention. I might however consider using a house colour as it is iconic and recognizable.

The font used is sans seref this means it has no flicks. This is fitting to the masculine vintage vibe of the magazine, Flicky writing just looks feminine, like a little girls neat hand writing.
For my magazine I think it is too soon to decide my font as I will decide in when I choose my model as I think with feminine models more seref font is used and with males more sans seref is used.

The used of the dotted dividing lines are there not only to make the page clearer but there little things just add to the overall look of the page it looks alot more professional with there's thoughtout dividers.
I will be using these when I make my contend page as they are conventions of a contents page and I don't think it would look very professional without them.
