3a) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective? (eg. What makes it eye catching? What about it promotes curiosity? How is it visually pleasing? What makes it easy to understand?)
The eye catching thing on my magazine is how big & bolded the title letters are and also the 2 stars on the magazine cover. The thing about it that promotes curiosity is that the people would want to know what’s happening between the super divas so they would be up-to-date with the latest gossip to brag it out and also they would want to see celebrities at their worse & best. It’s visually pleasing to others because these celebrities are known for their singing & music so that their fans will be satisfied. It’s easy to understand because its simple and people are always about fashion & gossip nowadays.
3b) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?
1. Gwen Stefani & Rihanna
2. The title
3. The background
4. The secondary storyline
