Research Into Similar Products - We Love Pop Magazine Analysis of Design

Although my main aim for my magazine was to stray away from typical mainstream pop magazines, but I thought that the magazine 'We <3 Pop' is an amazing magazine, not for the content specifically, but the front cover is laid out in a way that I find inspiring.

I love how the masthead is slanted as it creates a modern twist. I don't particularly PERSONALLY like the colour scheme as I find it too carnivalesque and too busy to use ideas from but the layout is my favourite thing. The way that the column in the left-third appeals to the audience as it shows what is also included in the issue.

The cover image is my favourite as the background is plain but it uses blocking to show two members of different groups, and the cover line shows who's who.
The cover lines at the bottom include PUGS and PUFFS as they are included in the bottom right.
The barcode is hidden quite well next to the black and white dress and under the vivid pink text.

This magazine cover isn't the best 'We <3 Pop' cover but it's one I used as an example to show how I could incorporate some ideas into my tasks' design.
