Dazed and Confused


I have looked at Dazed and Confused magazine as the name I have chosen, Fugue, also ultimately means 'dazed' so I connected the two and have researched some existing Dazed and Confused magazine covers. The font used for the title of Dazed and Confused is very bold and varies in colours depending on each magazine cover and the background image.






I have picked 6 covers that all have something in common; all of the models used are female and the shots are all mid-shot or close-up. Abstract make-up is used twice in the examples I have shown, in the 2nd and 6th images there has been face paint or over-editing on computer programmes. 
I especially like the 6th example of Dazed and Confused, with the skeleton face. I could also recreate the skeleton face as my article is going to be based on Georgia's split from the fictional band, The Skeleton Boys.
I also particularly like the two greyscale magazine covers, for some reason they stand out more. Magazines try to use as many colours as possible to make them stand out, the greyscale images and overall colour scheme looks effective as it is unusual on magazine products.
