I have decided to do a country magazine, below are several different country music magazine front covers that I will aspire to make my front cover that I will make similar to.
Titles
They are large, central and positioned across the top. Two of the above are serif font, this breaks a design rule however country may be more fitting with serif font.
Model
The photograph shows the model from the stomach upwards. The models are never bearing their teeth or properly smiling as a more demure look fits with country. Two of the models have in their possession an iconic link to country music such as the cowboy hat and the guitar, I will try to incorporate this.
Text
The text is always down one third with model based in the other two. All the magazines feature larger bolder writing for the introduction to the piece of information with regular writing placed underneath. Two of the magazines feature the cover stars name in large, I intended to also use this. Two of the magazines have san serif text down the side which is different from the title and I will use this also.
I have looked at many different country music magazines and I have seen that nearly all female country stars that are big enough to feature on the front of a magazine are pale with blonde hair and blue eyes. I will use a model with similar asthetics so that my magazine is fitting of a country style.
