This document compares the design differences between three soccer magazines: ESPN uses a risky green font and only one main cover line, which is not very appealing. FourFourTwo uses the Spanish flag in the background since the footballer on the cover is from Spain, and features a well-known footballer to indicate it is a sports magazine. World Soccer uses a lot of yellow font, which is an attention-getter being the easiest color to see, and shows the main cover athlete running to draw the viewer's focus directly to the large central photo and interview teaser about Thierry Henry.

Differences:
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.
