danger and white contrasts
the black perfectly.

bold and is very
relevant to the target
audience.
The word unstoppable is
almost referring to Drake’s

are used to do the
same.

white. However the pink text
gives this magazine a feminine
touch, which you usually
wouldn’t associate with males.

more expansive
than we’re used to.

a lot of colours.
