Analysing Magazine covers

We have been analysing music magazine covers of different genres to gain a deeper understanding into the conventions of the covers. Also it gave me a chance to practice looking into the denotationas and connotations of the text/images on them. I analysed nme, vibe, Complex and Rolling Stone magazines, looking into Complex and Vibe magazine most importantly as they are the similar genre to the magazine I will be creating myself. I really enjoyed this part of the coursework as i want to work in magazine design when im older, and i have always had an eye for magazine design . ;)
