I have looked at various music magazines to see some fonts used in existing magazines; I prefer simple, bold, fonts as they stand out more than anything complicated. I like the NME logo as it is small and in capital letters, magazine names often have all capital letters, for example:
All of the images of logos above have a similar colour scheme of black, red, and white, these are three bold colours that stand out well on most backgrounds of a front cover of a music magazine. I have picked out examples where these logos are used on the front of their magazines:
Each magazine has the title at the top of the page, this is the most popular positioning of a title as when it is placed on a magazine rack the title is the mot visible section of the magazine. NME, Vibe, and Kerrang! magazines in this example have the main cover image overlapping the title itself; this layout works because the magazines are famous.
I chose to research music magazines only as there is a big difference between the covers of music magazines and fashion or men's magazines etc. - mainly because they always feature existing artists or bands.
