This document compares the design differences between three soccer magazines: ESPN, FourFourTwo, and World Soccer. ESPN uses a green font, which research shows makes magazines less appealing to buyers. FourFourTwo only has one main headline, while World Soccer uses multiple clear headlines to advertise stories inside. World Soccer features the Spanish flag and a well-known Spanish footballer to indicate its focus on soccer. It also uses yellow, which catches the eye better than other colors.

FourFourTwo
Differences:
WORLD SOCCER
Differences:
The ESPN uses a green font
this is risky as statistics show
that magazines with green
fonts are the lowest selling
magazines.
The magazine only features
1 main cover line which
doesn’t look very appealing
Lots of clear cover lines telling
you information that will
feature in the magazine.
This magazine uses the Spanish
Flag as the back ground as the
footballer is from there.
Well known footballer to
advertise that it is a sport
magazine.
A lot of yellow is used as
yellow is an attention getter
and is the easiest color to see
so it will catch you eye and
draw your attention quicker
than any other color font.
This magazine shows a portrait
but when running and the lay
out is very different because all
your focus is on the main photo
and not on any texts however is
says it features an interview
with Thierry henry ‘the
footballer on the front cover
‘this will attract people who are
as fan of him.
