The document discusses three magazine covers. The first magazine uses a plain design with basic fonts and colors to emphasize its focus on fitness. While the simple layout is appealing, the model portrayed unrealistic body standards. The second magazine uses dark colors and minimal text to create an engaging yet mysterious layout, but lacks clarity about its content. The third magazine has a simplistic black and red color scheme and plain design fitting for its political focus as evidenced by the image of the president and headings about current events.

1. 1. The fontsand colourusedin thisimage of a magazine isverybasic,witha plainbackground.This

What I like aboutthismagazine isthatit isplainandhas a simple layout,whichdoesn’tputme
of buyingthismagazine.It alsohasa keycolourscheme,whichthe textonthe magazine
matchesand makesitmore appealingtothe targetaudience.
What I don’tlike aboutthismagazine isthe image used.Ithinkthatthisimage doesn’tportray
realizedfeaturesof women.The womenusedappearstobe a model andnotan average
women,sowomenwill feel pressurizedbythisimage andfeellike theyneedtolooklike the
model.Ialsodon’tlike thatthe image of the model iscoveringthe masthead,makingitharder
to see the title,therefore makingitappearlessappealing.Finally,Idon’tlike the mastheadfont
and the colourused,isthe same as other titlesonthe magazine.Thismakesitlookmessy.

2. 2. The colour of the magazine isbasedarounddark colourswhichmatch the modelsmakeuplook.
The backgroundof the magazine isblackand makesthe model standout.The model iswearing
a lot of makeupto promote thatthe magazine ispromotinga makeupmagazine.The masthead

The positionof the model isplacedinthe middle of the magazine. Thismakesiteasierto
recognise thatitis a magazine targetedforbeauty.The designof the magazine isquite simple,
so itis easiertosee the masthead,whichisplacedinthe middle,where oureyeswill be directed
to whenwe lookat the magazine.The magazinesdoesn’thave anyextratitlesandsubheadings
for stories,whichmakesithardertoknow whatthe magazine isabout.
What I like aboutthe magazine isthatit islaidout ina simple format,Ilike thisbecause itlooks
more engaging,andwithoutgivingtoomuchof what’sinthe magazine away.However,it
doesn’tgive enoughinformationaboutwhatthe magazine isabout.Thiscouldbe seenasa
downfall because people mightspendmoneyonthismagazine andopenthe firstpage andnot
