What i have learnt from analysing front covers

From the three music magazine front covers i analysed it gave me a lot of ideas about how to create my own. It learnt me things about which colours stand out the most and where the best place to put pull quotes and pugs is to make sure they are the most eye catching as possible to get the primary audience.  
I also got ideas of how to set things out, so it didn't look like there was to much going on and it just looked like there was enough information on the page, to draw in the audience to whats inside. Also making sure to get the most important inside information, in short term on the front. Making sure to use the most interesting pull quote from an inside article and making it stand out the most over most other text.
I also learnt to try and keep the colour scheme the same, to make it look more professional and make it easier to read and understand, as it could look like theres to much going on and could come across as being confusing which would lose buyers. 
Picking apart other magazines helped a lot on creating my own. 
Another thing i realised was that its important how the models are posing and how they're dressed, to send across the correct message. Making sure that all the text on the front cover is set around what genre the magazine is set around, strongly making sure the audience is aware that it is about pop music and only using famous icons that are famous in that certain industry. As it wouldn't sell if one issue was with pop music then all of a sudden started featuring rock music, this would lose buyers and attract the wrong audience. Making sure the price, issue number and the date issued is clearly shown as its one of the most important parts of information for the audience.
