3. Differences
The student I have chosen
appears to be posing, crossed
arms with a smile. He is also
looking away giving an effect
he is aiming for something
whereas Trey Songz has a
mean look on his face and is
flexing off his body.
The title I have used is
not as big as the title
‘VIBE’ have used, I have
also used a sub heading
however ‘VIBE’ has not.
Although the
backgrounds are both
coloured, I have used the
back of an office to
create a more student
feel. ‘VIBE’ has used a
mosaic black background,
this draws more focus to
Trey Songz thus drawing
in the intended audience
even more.
‘VIBE’ has a picture of the
previous magazine on the
front.
5. Differences
The colours I have used
for the title make it
stand out and give it a
retro feel, however ‘Half
Court’ have gone with
straight black.
‘Half Court’ have a
plain white
background
whereas I have a
grey one, I chose
this as it makes the
text stand out and
look clear.
Different shapes for
pictures used, I
chose different
shapes to provide
variety.
