Magazine Cover Inso and what Im using

 I was taking some inspiration from "The Rolling Stone" magazine. although it's not Conde Nast, I think the inclusion of some elements of it will appeal to the younger audience of 16-25.

What I would take from this cover: 

I like the use of the name and then a slogan to go with it

I really liked the layout of text, with the name down in the corner instead of in the middle that's more typical 

the puff in the top corner I really liked aswell 

What I would take from this cover: 

the outline around the cover is nice to frame

and again the use of a slogan 

What I would take from this cover: 

I like the use of the top of the page for a cover line to separate they key stories 

again, I really like the slogan with the name

Drafting Front Cover

 

I started with this draft front cover. 

I had used photoshop to brighten up the photo and used a script font for her name to make it seem like her professional signature 

I later changed this to a font like the one from the law series "suits" 

Past Student Ever Inspo - general research

 

I liked the stylisation of this and found it was effective 

I found this cool and trendy with intertextuality to 90s hiphop fashion

I thought this looked quite realistic and high quality

Condé Nast:

• Highly visual, digital-first content (Instagram, TikTok, video).

Keep attention - especially with a younger audience who will reach for magazines far less.

• Blending of fashion, music, and culture, not just style alone

• Emphasis on inclusivity, self-expression, and sustainability.

• Experiential elements (events, collaborations, reader engagement).

• Shoppable content to integrate style and retail seamlessly
