2. Similarities- The similarities of my college magazine and “Elle”
magazine.
They both have a
Masthead
Both have
various Cover
lines, to advertise
what's inside.
Both have a
plain
background
and use of
“rule of
thirds” as
well as a
mid-shot

3. The differences of my college magazine and “Elle” magazine
My college magazine has
an image of a college
student representing the
college, however “Elle”
magazine uses a fashion
celebrity as it is for the
fashion audience.
The type of sell lines are
different “Style” is for the
fashion magazine yet the
college magazine has sell
lines about university.
Different house style,
the college magazine
is fun with purple.
Elle magazine is black
and elegant.

4. What's similar with the contents pages? How does mine
challenge the other magazine?
They both have
images relating to
the magazine. E.g.
college students
and make-up. ELLE
is more professional
and the college
magazine is more
laid back.
Both have the
sub headings
helping the
reader find
what they are
looking for.
Different
columns
categorised for
different
interests.

5. Differences with the contents page
The images used in
“Elle” magazine are
more professional
and sophisticated
and they look like
they have been taken
on fashion shows or
photo shoots, aiming
at fashion conscious
people. Where as my
images are more
casual around college
and have a laid back
feel to the magazine,
giving a wider range
for an audience.
“Elle” magazine also
has a paragraph of
information which
helps the reader, so
to improve my
magazine I could add
a feature paragraph
with more
information.
