The title of
the magazine is featured at the top left of the front cover as people read left
to right therefore this will be the first element of the cover that is seen.
The title is slightly covered by the main image of Lady Gaga as Q magazine know
that they are well known and can take the risk to cover it up. It is the
largest text on the page to show how important it is. I
believe that having the title of the magazine the largest text on the page and
having it in the left corner is important, I know that this will catch people’s
eyes straight away; therefore I would like to include this in my magazine. A
convention that usually happens in magazines is the title being covered by the
main image, I would like to use this convention in my magazine, I will only
cover the title slightly.
The main image is placed in the centre of the cover to show its importance. she is layered over different elements of the cover to make her stand out and to let the reader know she is the main feature of the magazine. For my magazine I want to make sure that people know that the main image is the main story of the magazine, to do this I will also place my image in the centre of the front cover but I don’t like the fact that other elements of the magazine are not seen because of this, therefore for my magazine only the title will be slightly covered by my main image.
The four elements at the bottom left corner of the cover let the reader know what other stories they are able to read inside the magazine this persuades them to want the rest of the magazine, they stand out as they are in white boxes, this helps the text. It also helps attract the fans of the stars that are named. I like this element of this magazine as the white boxes help the other stories stand out, they have kept the house style the same. For my magazine I would like to include this but instead of white boxes I will have black boxes to make white or blue text stand out.

The main headline is shown across the middle of the page; it is the largest font compared to the rest of the text on the cover (except the title). This catches the eye of a reader. Some of the letters are laid behind Lady GaGa to show that she is the most important and the main magazine story is about her. For my magazine I will make the main headline the name of the artist who is the main image, like this magazine I will make sure that the headline is a large font and a colour that will stand out, but will keep to my house style.
The layout of the front cover is arranged to make sure that the main story and image are the centre of attention. The layout is professional and the elements are clearly seen and readable as they are organised well. For my magazine I want the main image and headline the centre of attention, therefore they will be placed in the centre of the front cover, with the other elements surrounding it.
