Hello Beautiful People! I've been doing a lot of research on the content and layout of my magazine, but I haven't really looked into the aesthetic that I want, so today, I decided to do some research on the covers of various sports and gymnastics magazines to see what colors and layout I want to use for mine.
My main inspiration has been Inside Gymnastics, and, like many sports magazines, the colors of the cover depends on the photo, and so the colors usually match what the main subject is wearing. One thing I noticed about their covers is they usually one have feature article mentioned on the cover, and the background is always dark or blurred, so the main focus is the person in the photo and the white masthead (also, they don't change the masthead color like other magazines).
The Inside Gymnastics articles all have pretty much the same design; black background with white text, and the headings are either teal or light purple to match their aesthetic. Although I really like their article designs and I think they're really pretty, I don't know if I want my pages to have black backgrounds, so I looked at some other sports magazine articles.
My cover is either going to have one or two people on it, not a whole team, and I really like how the blurred background looks, so I looked at other sports magazine covers that fit that criteria. Also, although I love Inside Gymnastics' simple look, I don't know if Cambridge is going to let me get away with only one coverline and no other words on the front, so I lade sure to look into magazines with a lot of words on the cover. These are some covers that I found that have everything I'm looking for:
