The document discusses magazine design inspiration. It finds the "RAP MAC" and "Complex" magazines to be the most inspiring due to their wide range of features from which to draw ideas, such as cartoony mastheads and eye-catching morphing effects. The Eminem magazine was chosen for comparison, as its neatly laid out text contrasts with magazines like "Complex" that have bubbly writing and captions placed and written in a style that fits the image perfectly.

1. Magazine Inspiration
From these 3 magazines, the 2 on the right,
which are annotated, are probably the
most inspiring in my opinion. This is
because both of them offer a wide range
of features that I can get ideas from, such
as the masthead design being cartoony
and creepy to set the tone. Also, the
morphing effect that the “RAP MAC”
magazine uses is very eye catching since
we would want to know who the winner
is. Why I chose the Eminem magazine
was because I wanted to compare the
differences between a normally laid out
magazine between a more intriguing one.
The differences I can see would be
something like the text. In Eminem, the
text is neatly laid out and goes well with
the background and image. Whereas, for
example, the “Complex” magazine has
bubbly writing and the other captions
around the front page are placed and
written in the same style. What is
interesting about this is that it fits the
image perfectly.
Very nice morphing effect of
the 2 faces together between
each other
Here, the cartoony effect is
interesting because it portrays
the artist (in this case, Kid
Cudi) as a imaginative and
creative person
