Page Harmony - Cover Analysis


The rectangle in the upper left corner of the page represents whereabouts the magazine's logo, or beginning of their logo should be, as you can see in the case of i-D, the logo fits almost perfectly inside this box. The rectangle in the centre of the page marks the ideal "centre of visual interest", however on this particular cover, the centre of the viewers interest is probably slightly further up the page, focusing on the model's makeup and winking eye. The two red circles mark the stereotypical points where text is found, but i-D has gone against convention by placing the text elsewhere.

The rectangle in the centre of the page marks the ideal "centre of visual interest", and in this case it mostly does, with the models face fitting almost completely inside the rectangle. The two red circles mark the stereotypical points where text is found, but similar to i-D, The Fly has gone against convention by placing the text elsewhere.


The rectangle in the upper left corner of the page represents whereabouts the magazine's logo, or beginning of their logo should be, as you can see in the case of Rolling Stone the logo does begins in the box. The rectangle in the centre of the page marks the ideal "centre of visual interest", however that isn't so with the issue of Rolling Stone. The two red circles mark the stereotypical points where text/other important information is found, text is found at the bottom point but not at the top.
