Front Cover Inspiration and Draft Sketch

These pictures are examples of front covers which I like. They are generally simple and structured, with clean lines and font used. A minimal amount of colours are used, which is the style I am going for in my magazine. The main images are also quite simple, with the exception of the mise en scene in MIA's NME cover; the people featured are usually staring straight ahead at the camera, and their faces are expressive without being dramatic. Here is a draft sketch of what I hope my front cover will look like. As you can see, I have taken a lot of inspiration from NME, and the cover with Florence Welch on it (which I have also deconstructed) is the one I am modelling my cover on.
