Good Magazine Layout

I find that People magazine has an effective cover layout. The magazine has a very bold title, which is always easy to recognize, even in this case where Andre Agassi's head is covering part of it. Readers still understand what it says. The title story is always the biggest part of the cover because it is the most important part of that particular issue, and then other important stories run down the side. The layout is balanced nicely and highlights the stories to a good extent. The colors of the magazine also are always used in an effective way, by using attention-grabbing colors, but by not being too overpowering to the point where it would look cheesy and cheap.
