Sky Sports Magazine: There isn't that much pugs across the front cover, or any other information. This connotes that it's a subscription magazine and not one that you would pay for; which is shown by the lack of a barcode or price tag. The main image anchors what the main article is focusing on, which is the Premier League in this example. This text would be similar to mine to the extent that it's a sports magazine and that the main article would be on football. The masthead is on the top left corner, and isn't as eye catching and big as paying magazines as people who have this already know it's a sky sports magazine as it comes free with SKY.






This magazine would be along the lines of what I would be including from the front cover. There are a lot of pugs which is spread out across the front cover which connotes that they are attempting to sell the magazine by showing all of the information included with it, as it's not free like the Sky Sports magazine there are "exclusive" headlines and prizes to get people to buy the magazine. The masthead is used in big red font to be eye-catching. Taglines are used to try and make the stories interesting and pose questions to get the readers interested, something I might do on my front cover.










There is not a lot focused on writing, with more focused on the images and backgrounds which connote that sports magazine article aren't going to contain alot of information. The information is in a box isolated from the images which connote powerful images and effects are probaly more important than the actual article itself. The font is typical magazine font which connotes its professionalism.
