Soap magazine covers

Once we had analysed magazine covers at the beginning of the year, we already had a firm knowledge of what a magazine cover consists of - thereby allowing us to simply change our previous copies from earlier to make our second ancillary text.
As described in our earlier analysis - magazines have many conventions similar to the posters or the trailers themselves. Primarily, many of the conventions have no relevence to the actual soap, but serve more practical purposes, such as the overall design of the poster - consisting of a blue background, red background around the title and a very compact layout of all of the information, as shown by this example below:

As of such, we needed to create a similar magazine with all of the designs, including the pugs, prices, main head image and taglines, and many more:

The first thing we are drawn to is the mast head, as it is backed by blue - red's compliment. In addition to this, the main dominant image overlaps with the mast head drawing the attention to the image next, which takes up the majority of the page. This is a convention common among all other magazines, as it helps sells multiple copies and also gives news into new soaps or plot progressions into already established soaps, as shown in the example image.
