Analysing front cover images

To make sure my magazine was up to scratch, i looked other music magazines such as Q Magazine and Mixmag to get an idea of how good and professional they look. Also i liked both these covers because they stood out and both The Prodigy and Daft Punk are the most famous dance acts. The Mixmag gave me an idea to do my front cover image with the person having a mask on to cover their face and not have an identity. This would then make it more mysterious and premiscious for the readers and the audience. Furthermore both the magazines helped me focus more on the background image and the positioning of the artist. With Q Magazine they have positioned the frontman of the Prodigy closer to the camera. Whereas in Mixmag Daft Punk are positioned next to each other because there is no front person in the band, they are both equal.
