Front cover examples - house style

I have been researching Indie magazines and music and have found a series of front cover pages which I found interesting and they stood out to me when I was thinking about the model and subject of my front cover.

The house style of the models are quite similar but the colour scheme of each front cover is slightly different. Many indie magazines are black and white, mono-tonal or pastel which is why I found these covers interesting, especially the first two, because they differ from stereotypical indie covers. All of the expressions are very serious which creates a certain mood for the magazine and represents the sultry, independent genre of music and again, differs from pop or rock music magazines. The house style of the layouts are very similar to each other and to other indie magazines because of their simplicity. The mastheads are also the same because of the brand of magazine. The font and size is kept the same so the audience knows how to identify the magazine immediately.
