The front cover is important because it's what would attract or fail to attract possible consumers.
In order for front covers to be successful they need to contain specific things.
About Indie Magazine: (found on their page)
INDIE Magazine is an international, independent style magazine with a focus on fashion, music and culture - founded 2003 in Vienna. Innovative fashion- and photo-editorials by internationally recognized photographers and portraits of budding talents from the fashion, music and cultural scene are INDIE Magazines cornerstones.
This is a magazine from the indie genre.
The thing about indie/contemporary/alternative/ ska music and the artist behind the music is that they want to appear and be different. This means that the artists on the front might not be well-known out of their genre (unlike people like lady gaga and beyonce that most people know of no matter what genre they listen to) Because they might not necessarily be well-known they need to either look somewhat shocking or quirky. The girl on this is very quirky with her glow-stick 'glasses' and her messy ponytail. She looks carefree with her light blue hoodie on as well She also fits the 'bohemian' look with her rainbow 'hippie headband. She also isn't wearing a large amount of makeup. This lack of large amounts of makeup fits the genre as they aim to either look very bohemian and natural or very fake and done up on the other end of the spectrum. Because this is not a well known artist and this magazine is also a fashion magazine as well, the name of the girl is not the third thing you notice. Instead you notice the "oh I see" in the right corner, which has to do with her.
The masthead is the first or second thing you notice (as with most magazines) It is white and bold so as to catch attention. It is also the second biggest thing on the page (largest text).
The cover follows the convention of having the text show importance by size.
This magazine breaks the convention of being very busy and having a load of text around.
The barcode is another element on a magazine. Some magazines put it on the back but its on the front left on this one.
