genre of the magazine
The shadow around the text is a similar
colour to the text colour, it makes it not stand
out as much

energy which is a main component in the

could be used for a dance magazine

makes it stand out

The font is bold and clear, this makes it easy to
read, and stand out

Pros Cons
