CONTRAST

This is an example of good contrast. The placing of the person creates a visual hierarchy for the magazine that has to do with fitness for men being the idea of the magazine. Even though it looks cluttered and overly exaggerated, the box of texts balances it out. The different variations of the text and David Beckham gives the magazine a unified look.


This is a poor design of a magazine cover of the NOW celebrity magazine. Unlike the Men's fitness magazine, the clutter of text is extreme. It draws the viewers eyes all over the magazine. The choice of colors are not appealing to the eye. The use of imagery with the pictures of the celebrity makes the viewers focus on too many headings that gives mixed direction of what the magazine is suppose to be focused on.
