The cover of NOTION magazine with Miley Cyrus has strongly influenced me and given me a lot of ideas for my own cover. I feel like the photograph on the cover is really strong and there is a very strong pose which stands out and looks effective. Miley is winking in the photo which lead me into looking at other photographs which have been taken of celebrities winking. I came across i-D magazine which i then realised have branded themselves with the matching masthead and cover star showing only one eye or winking. This has made me want to contain a strong correlation between the masthead and the cover star. I am going to do some work on creating some potential mastheads and see if there is anything which could then be projected onto my photography.
Another i-D magazine cover which I really like and have found influential is this one. I really like the use of black and a contrasting pink. On my magazine cover I don't want to use a lot of colour and really want to use a simple colour scheme. I feel like this as an example of a cover with simple colours. Both of the stars on this cover are still fulfilling i-D's idea of using one eye. Looking at covers of this magazine is making me realise how effective it is and it creates a very strong branding for the magazine as a whole.
