3 Practise Layouts for Front Cover

Layouts for Front Cover

Due to my first idea of erasing the background not turning out the way that I wanted it too. I decided to create a front cover that would look very unique and different compared to the typical magazine layout. I also tried to make my magazine simplistic so then it would suit my target audience.

Below I used 3 different layouts used on Canva, but I moved around the order of the text and the location where they originally were when I started. This was so then the front cover would be seen as an original design & not an attempted copy of another magazine layout.


This was my first magazine cover which I made on Canva. I used the magazine layout just to help me set out all the text included in the front cover. I used the font 'League Spartan' as my main master head. This was because I liked the bold and simple look of the font. At first I had the 'i' as an upper case letter, but I thought that the overall look, looked better with the 'i' as a lower case letter. The use of the small amount of detail about what is included in the magazine was based on the 'Indie' fashion magazine that I came across.
  This is the second magazine cover that I made on Canva, I used a completely different layout for this magazine cover. I used a different filter for the photo for the front cover. I like the use of the saturation  used this is because it looks very simplistic, just like the magazines that I was basing my work on the 'Indie' fashion magazines. This is due to the lack of detail and the use of plain and very simple fonts which makes the magazine seem not only very basic but also quite unique as it doesn't look nor show the obvious aspects of a normal layout/style of a typical magazine cover.

 This layout design of this magazine is very different, I set it out just like a normal magazine but didn't put as much detail of what is included inside the issue like most typical magazines do on the front cover. The use of different sizes and different fonts that work well all together took me a while to find as I felt like the set up and also the use of font on the previous 2 practise layouts were too uncomplicated in their form of spread as I only used 2 different font types. I also used the colour grey in this spread, this is due to the fact that I felt that this design was too basic and didn't quite look like a magazine, more like a leaflet.
