Best Magazine Cover 2013

Bloomberg Businessweek, February 6-12, 2012: "Let's Get It On"



They used rule of thirds on where they placed the sun behind the two planes. Also the blue and red paint on the planes create leading lines towards the sun in the background.  The "Let's Get It On" can easily be read because of the placement in front of the dark clouds. I think balance can also be integrated into this because the mass amount of clouds below and the two massive planes balance out in the image.

Magazine Essential Parts

1. Masthead is used for advertising the Magazine Company.
2. Date is used to obviously date the month and year of publication.
3. Main Image is the subject of the picture being used. The main area where the viewer looks at.
4. Model Credit gives credit to the person in the image. Not always on the front cover. Usually is inside the magazine.
5. Tells you what you can read inside the magazine. Like a teaser so you can buy the magazine.
6. Main Cover Line shows what the magazine will mostly be about.
7. Left Third is the beginning of the Magazines' name. A buyer will recognize the company and will most likely purchase the magazine.
8. Bar Code is used to actually purchase the magazine in stores.
9. Selling line is used to give the reader a quick description of what the magazine is there for or what the company has achieved.
