In addition to the connections you named, I would also say text is a very important connection between your pieces. Each magazine has varying font sizes ranging from very large to very small.
ReplyDeleteThe text is also written in a short and to-the-point manner. The text makes the covers look pretty "busy"/crowded. However, it looks as though each magazine has one big topic they want one to read; these topics are shown in very large font and often in a bold color, too.
Good point. I guess i kinda overlooked the whole overall effect of the covers since I was worried about the things it said rather than how it looks as a whole. Thanks for pointing that out.
ReplyDeleteI liked the way that you highlighted the key elements by editing the image itself. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI too think it was very effective how you highlighted elements of the images with boxes and arrows to bring our attention to certain aspects. Also, I think that the imortance of magazine covers and what they say to consumers is often overlooked, but the promises they make and the text and images they present are what draws in an audience and attracts people to buy the magazine. There are so many magazines out there that have covers, images, and messages similar to these; this is a great topic, and good images to support it, for this assignment.
