Magazine Cover Layouts

Above are my magazine cover designs. I feel that each of my well thought out designs are varied and include features in which are unique as well as following conventions of a cover. What I consider important within the cover of a magazine is the main image/feature which is usually the aspect that stands out most along with the masthead. This to me is important because it is the feature people see first and what makes them pick up the magazine on the shelf as they may recognize the person on the front and may be a fan of them or they may be doing something that catches their attention. With this, this is why the main image takes up the whole page and is always bigger than the other features around it. I would like people to view the magazine as fun,  entertaining, bold and over all different to other magazines. This is because it will make them want to engage in it. I also want people to view it as professional but effective as none of the covers are dull and boring.  I would like the main image on the cover to be vibrant and bold because it is what people tend to see first. I would like the image to represent what the magazine is advertising, tying everything on the cover together. With text I feel that the biggest text in the page should be the masthead first to show the brand image and then the headline, pull quotes and lure which my cover designs effectively show. This is because it catches the attention of the readers and makes them want to look inside to find out more. Ans also follws the conventions of a magazine.
