3. Front Cover Differences
There aren’t many
differences between the two
magazines as they include
the same characteristics that
most magazines include.
The colour theme is different
and in the professional
magazine there's a consistent
use of the same colours
linking it all together whereas
in the student one the shades
of colours are different.
The image used in the
college magazine is of a
student where as in the
‘Bieber’ magazine it’s a
celebrity.
The Bieber magazine is
very professional and the
image has been
manipulated and
transformed completely,
the colouring and the
sizing of the model its
perfect to suit the target
audience and show Justin
Bieber as an older more
grown up character.
The layout and everything
about the Bieber magazine is
more professional, well
thought out and very
aesthetically pleasing.
