 Firstly I have used one big image that is a medium shoot of what
the magazine is mainly about ,however I have used more then
one person to be in photoshoot, to show that I was targeting both
genders.Also the clothing in both magazines suit the genres as
drake in the vibe magazine is wearing chains and a black cap as
hes a rap artist, and in magazine the wearing casual clothes as
there students, as well as it being teenage fashion. Also in both
magazines they are giving direct address I chose to use this as it
would catch the readers attention from the other magazines on
the shelf. In my magazine I used a big masthead in the top like
the other magazine so that it would stand and the target
audience and the non target audience would remember my
name. In both magazines they have coverlines this is to get the
reader wanting to open the magazine so they get interested in
the content inside the magazine. However I dont not have an
order or foloow rule of thirds as all magazines would have this
,and this would alow my magazine to stand out from the rest.

 Firstly I have used a small array of different fonts to keep it looking
professional as if it had many different fonts it would look as if the
maker of the magazine didnt really care that would show to the reader
that it is not a good magazine and convince them to buy there
competitors magazine. It is the same with colours as I have used
consistent colours as they would match and make important parts of my
magazine stand out. I have also used a main image as it would catch
the readers attention ,however in have used a long shoot rather then a
medium shoot as I wanted to show the whole image, and I feel that it
compliments the contents information along the side. Also I have not
put an insight to pages as I want the audience to go on to the page to
see the article .Furthermore I haven't used headings for the contents
information as they all apart of the same genre and there not many
pages.
