This document analyzes and compares two soap opera magazines to determine effective design techniques. Some techniques highlighted as effective include using bold mastheads and headlines to draw attention, placing sub-stories along the bottom and sides to allow space for the main image and story, and featuring actors/actresses with emotional expressions to intrigue readers. The document recommends replicating these techniques, as well as clearly displaying the price near the masthead, but avoiding cluttering the cover with too many sub-stories or including the issue date within the masthead. Overall, the goal is to design an engaging magazine cover that attracts readers with drama and exclusive stories.
