Effect On Front Cover Design

A Folk and country music magazine will have a more rural front cover. The publisher will use natural and environmental colour scheme with bold, simple and plain fonts. There will not be anything that would be frowned upon or seen as 'fake' as it is a hearty, homely style.






 Dance music is more modern and minimal with simple colour schemes like black, white, brown and blue. The fonts are bold and glamours appealing to modern society.



Indie music can be seen as slightly rough and ready in its approach. There is a DIY ethos where it looks amateurish but in a stylish way where the fonts may be a bit disorganised but look good. The band will be dressed in everyday clothes and most probably look like their audience.



Soul would be likely to go for a classic look with glossy images and timeless fonts with a well groomed artist. It may seem more classy and sophisticated.
