Magazine+Cover

Part 1

1.

2. Both are focused around the actress on the cover. They also have cover blurbs that talk about their lifestyle. On the LIFE magazine it mentions "Miss Hepburn at home" and on the Vogue cover it mentions "Angelina Jolie raising six kids." Both covers have the date and price on it and have a banner at the top with the name of the magazine.

3. On the cover of the LIFE magazine the main story is about Audrey Hepburn, how she gets her charm, and what she's like at her home. The Vogue magazine's main story is Angelina Jolie raising six children, portraying strong women in her films, and about her most recent movie, the tourist, starring alongside Johnny Depp. It also seems to focus on holiday fashion and what will be in style for the festive season.

4. The cover for the LIFE magazine has a few design principles present. Firstly, the way her legs are positioned make a triangle. Also, the telephone cord makes a slight dynamic "s" arrangement. The background of her living room looks a little out of focus so this cover kind of has some depth levels in it. The Vogue cover on the other hand is simple and single point. The background also uses the design principle color space. It is plain blue which contrasts with the white shirt that Angelina Jolie is wearing and the blue also contrasts with her pale skin. The text color also changes with what background it is on, the pink and black on white and white, black and pink on blue.

5. I find that earlier magazine covers were more simple than pictures on the cover of magazines today. The photo on the front would be a simple portrait for example with not a lot of text.

6. Poster covers have few cover lines but if they do have cover lines the illustration usually overpowers them. Also, the logo usually doesn't cover the picture.

7. The purpose of covers lines are to draw people into the magazine while portraying what information is found inside the magazine.

8. An integrated cover is when the photo taken leaves room for cover lines. Also, the color of the cover lines going well with the image on the background.

9. Cover lines can effect a magazine in a bunch of ways that can be negative or positive. For example, if a cover line blocks off a critical part of the main photo it can look cramped and could make the reader put the magazine down. [] [] []

10. a) Out side the box: Pictures and text are separate. b) Inside the box: Text boxes on or in the background image. c) Columns: a straight line of color from top to bottom of cover from cover lines. d) Zones: When the title, cover lines, etc are each in horizontal or vertical zones. e) Banners and Corners: Grab peoples attention by size and color. f) Unplanned and Planned spaces: Unplanned- Text gets put into the spots that were accidentally left empty. Planned- The spaces in the image were planned for the cover lines to fill.

Great job on the questions. Good choices for covers! 25/25



Cover looks good, but your images are a little squished. Check the spelling on one of your cover lines!(Patters) 26/28
