Front Cover Inspiration

I want to create a magazine cover similar to this one. A lot of rugby magazines have a dark background, this helps to create a masculine, hard man mood. They usually have one player who is the main feature of the front cover, the image of this player usually dominates the page because each issue usually focuses on a player. The Rugby world magazine’s always have their title in red this enables the magazine to be instantly recognisable to the audience. The red of the title ties in well with the red on the featured rugby player’s shirt. The magazine uses a black yellow white and red colour scheme, the yellow is used to highlight key features. The “king” text is as big as the “Rugby World” title this draws your attention to it as it is unusual to have text that big.
