Above are designs from a fashion magazine called 'Pop'. Although i am not creating a fashion magazine, i would like to use something like this for my layout.
The magazines are fairly minimal. They do have one main picture dominating the page which is one of the conventions of magazines. But the writing around the images is quite minimal, whereas in a music magazine there will most likely be quite a lot of writing describing what's in the magazine to lear the audience in.
The top image is breaking one of the conventions, as the girl is looking away from the camera. Most magazines have the artist looking straight ahead, so that the reader is leered in as if they were looking at them.
I like how the word 'Rave' is typed down the side of the front cover, this relates to the genre of music i have chosen, so would be a good convention to use.
The last image is very minimal with one main picture and just a little writing. What i think works for it is the colours (greys and pinks) and the big writing 'Love' which is 'Courtney Love's' second name.
