One of the reasons why I like this magazine cover is because it has cleverly used tools such as background blurring to give sections of the cover emphasis over other parts. Another reason why I like it is because the image gives off a positive radiance compared to other magazines of the same issue which are most often negative in appearance and message and it is refreshing to see things spun in a postive light sometimes. Also I like the fact that despite being relatively clean in appearance, there is still quite a high amount of information on the front cover which leads me to believe that it has been made with alot of thought and ideas about combining information and images but without overcrowding or being too minimalist. As a final point, personally I take a fair amount of interest in African affairs and therefore it's natural I would take a liking to a magazine about Africa, the state of affairs and aid expeditions to the continent.

This is a blog to post my work on the magazine project which I am doing in my AS Media Lessons.
This is a magazine front cover I chose because it contains a dominating image, I like the way that the information fits well around this image and because I like some of Drake's music.
