My top five 2015 magazine covers

I think that this one is one of the best because it shows so much but is yet so simple. Just by those three words and the photo, the viewer can already see what's going on. The plain background makes the black don't look elegant and makes Caitlyn stand out more. This one is my favorite. 
This is a powerful cover because of the color scheme and the detail. It's an image based cover and her stare is intense and captures the viewer. The white flows well with the other colors and makes Adele and the title pop. The way they photographed her makes it seem more like you are getting to see her private life. 
I like this spread because the monochromatic theme. The black and white makes the shadows dramatic and the picture has a lot of contrast. The font isn't too prominent but it's different color helps them to be seen. The whole spread flows nicely because of the theme they chose. 
This spread catches the eye of the viewers really well. The intense colors help make the cover stand out and the focus is in the center of the page which makes it look symmetric and balanced. The rich colors and simplicity draw the eye to the center. It also has a powerful image that makes people want to see what is inside. 
This cover is powerful because of the mellow colors and the background help focus in on the athlete. This cover is showing what a true athletes body looks like and I think it really helps get the point across. The photo is really captivating and it makes the viewer want to see more.

  1. You do a better job overall with specifics here. I did notice though that the color of the BAZAAAR nameplate matches the color of Rihanna's outfit. That's a subtle thing but it really pulls the whole design together. The shallow depth of field on the MEN'S FITNESS magazine is a also critical to it working as well as it does. 98
