Subscriber's Covers Vs General Release Covers
























As an ELLE magazine subscriber myself i love the editions i recieve over the general release issues that are sold in stores across the UK. The subscribers issues have a more classy, stylish and smart presentation through their minimalistc and simplistic layout. The picture is left to speak for itself and it does this so eloquently. I feel the issues the are sold as a general release with the cover stories, pull quotes, puffs etc leaves the before stylish and sleek magazine looking like a tabloid or an advertisement rather than what i feel can be a piece of artwork when left with minimalistic conventions. I also love the fact that the image on the subscriber's issue and general release issue are different as this gives the subscribers an 'exclusive' version of the magazine, and i would also like to allow my readers to do this. When producing my magazine i would like to make a subscriber's version and a general release version as i would enjoy analysing the differences and giving readers a chance to choose the cover they prefer.
