The Cover of a Magazine.

Our last lesson was about magazines and their covers. We learnt about the ways in which a magazine attracts a reader, and the reason it's laid out the way it is.

The cover is very important for sales, 95% of magazines are bought in newsagents and for a potential reader so the cover needs to be attractive to a potential reader. The magazines above are the ones we looked at in class; a generic soap magazine, rock magazine Kerrang, and indie NME.
