Magazine covers that have influenced me

I have researched several magazine covers for inspiration whilst trying to design my own magazine cover; here are some of the magazine covers that I think look very appealing:

 Fader and Clash are music magazines, i-D is an arts & culture magazine and Violet is business magazine. Music magazines are not the only influential designs I have looked at, I think that the 2 non music magazines look just as appealing as the 2 music magazines. I think these cover designs look appealing because they are simplistic, but still eye catching. I want to go for a similar design for my music magazine because I would want to attract a similar readership as these magazines. These magazines are not the most popular within the industry, unlike Kerrang and NME, for example. However, I still think that these magazines have a very dedicated customer base and they contain quality content. These magazines do not conform to the conventions, for example they do not contain puffs, pugs and lots of coverlines. It's minimal and effective.
