Dwell Magazine

In order to create this magazine i had to look at many connotations and conventions to consider the target audience of the magazines front cover. I had to use a limited number of colours as less is more and too many colours will would be too messy and distracting. The colours i have used are a pale blue for the back ground and for the text black and grey. I have used these colours as i wanted the magazine be different to all other magazines, a typical women's magazine would use colours such as pinks and reds but mine would stand out as its not the typical magazine front cover. There is also another colour 'red' but it's only used once this is made to stand out, i have used it on the price so that it draws attention to the reader straight away. I have also used one type of typography throughout the magazine front cover. The image of 'Kiera Knightly' is the only image on the magazine, this is to show that it's the main storyline. The main image draws attention to the reader as it dominates the page, the model 'Keira Knightly' is facing straight on which invites the audience as she is looking right at them. The straplines are positioned around the image to show that the image is again more important. The straplines also show there's losts of story's that women would like to read about, including true story's, fashion and gossip. The image also covers part of the title which indicates that the magazine is well know as it's not as important to show the name. The magazine front cover has many layers apart of it, the number of layers allow you position components of the magazine freely around the page.
