V magazine always have a simplistic V design on the cover of every edition I think that y doing this it allows them to create their own brand and logo like Q magazine. however this is a bolder design because they have used it across the whole cover of the magazine allowing it to go over the artists image. by doing they have adapted and changed the design of the V on each edition to match the style and the colouring in the photo of the artist.
They use the image as the main feature the name of the artist is done in a smaller font meaning that this is not one of the main focused on features on the page. they have used the conventions of thirds because they have included two thin columns on the left and right of the cover allowing there to be an insight into the magazine. on the right they have used a smaller section where they have said the artists name and a small caption about them allowing the viewer to read a little about them. on the left column of the design they have written artist names in a long list they have not written anything about them but by doing this it allows the viewer to see who is written about in this week issue. they have also included a barcode and the edition and year number at the bottom of the page allowing the buyer to see what number it is.
the use of no colour in the image is effective because this makes this edition stand out more because it gives the design a classy and elegant style to the magazine which is effective because many of V's magazine are coloured and all use vibrant style on the covers that match the artists that are featured on the covers.
