I looked at different genres of magazines in order to allow me to acknowledge what differentiated all the different genres of magazines. By carrying out this activity it allowed me to make sure I understood what exactly made each cover look different. I found that different colours represented a whole different mood for the entire cover, for example looking at teen magazines, many bright colours were used, due to the target audience it was aimed at, i.e because it was aimed at a young audience the cover was more attractive looking with large headings, everything was placed according to the audience it was aimed at.
However looking at home/living magazines, this was a total opposite to teen magazines as it was so much more simpler, because it was aimed at a maturer audience, it was aimed at someone who owns a home and is looking to design the place. Again the colours were purposely used such as the brown and white to allow the cover to create a neautral look to the magazine, adding to this an image was also used to allow the reader or passer by to look at the interior of the house and how it is styled.To conclude this by comparing and looking at all of the genres of magazines I found this task to be very helpful as I knew what to look for when creating my front cover.
