This magazine cover has three men all looking straight ahead. It is very simple yet effective. It gives them the sense of power and superiority over the reader. However, I do not think this kind of pose is one I will use for my front cover. This is because although it looks good I do not think it will work for the type of magazine I am making.
This one is very different in many ways from the above. Even though it has three men on the cover the whole structure is different. This one has a more lively colour and has a fun look about it where as the above was very serious. The picture has also been photoshoped a lot and made brighter which makes it look happier. The poses they are doing are lively which is what I want my 'band' to be like.
