Our inspiration on how to design our Soap Opera magazine front cover

Myself and Hannah decided to do some more research on Soap Opera TV magazine front covers so we could get inspiration on how to design our own. We decided to focus on a specific front cover which is the magazine 'What's On TV'. We were inspired by this specific magazine because it is a very successful magazine and always involve the up and coming storylines. Therefore, we gathered that this would be the most appropriate to relate to our own magazine front cover.


I like how these magazines have a certain layout and genre and are always very eye-catching. This is because of the striking image and clashing of colours.These elements are a good way to really catch the audience eye and make them want to read more of the drama thats going to happen in the series within the next week. The tag line/title is always big and bold to give the audience the 'gossip' of what is going to happen. The text is also a use of persuasive language which draws the audience's attention more along with it being a clashy colour that stands out more than the rest of the text on the cover.
