From this task I learnt what people thought of the covers I posted and what made them like them. There was a post on colour scheme and how the colour scheme was a good choice to use, this confirmed the idea I had to use that colour scheme in my magazine. There is a lot of talk of the artists that appear on the covers, so that tells me people want to see artists on the cover dominating it. The mixed opinions of the responses makes it hard to draw definite conclusions but there is enough material here to be able to be flexible about the choices I make when I make my magazine. The responses have got me thinking about a complex cover compared to a simple one. It seems to all depend on what needs to go on the cover and whether its completely relevant and fits with the theme. If there's something that doesn't fit in with the cover then there is no need for it to be there. If you want a cover to show off the artist that the issue revolves around then your not going to litter the page with items that have no purpose of definite reason to be there. However, if the issue is not like this and has no main focus then its acceptable to put as much stuff as possible on the front cover to draw the reader to it. The responses have drawn me to this conclusion which will definitely influence the decisions I make when making my music magazine.
