8. Common elements:
• All three magazines have sections in similar areas (fashion, style/beauty or entertainment).
• All three magazines have a menu bar, which has a search box.
• They all have a similar layout to each other, with a white and black colour scheme.
• All three have very similar (nearly identical) navigation bars with content being separated into five sections.
• The option to sign in or sign up (subscribe) is located in the top right-hand corner of the homepage for all three magazines.
• Between each section there is either a space or some sort of dash, to distinguish that they are separate from each other.
• Throughout all three magazines, the homepage navigation bar menu has a simple colour scheme. The background being a plain white
and the text being in a regular or bold black font, this is done so the black contrasts with the white and makes it easier top read and
doesn’t take the attention away from the content further down the page.
