and highlight different texts
from the background to make
them distinctive and for them to
stand out, especially the
masthead and the main cover
line.

photographs to make more of
an impact on the
audience(Closer shot to see
the direct eye contact, and also
the light settings to highlight
the features of the face.

include them to make it
easier for the target market

looking for.

images is needed for a pop
magazine to interest the
target market and also
make the page more visual
for the audience.

easier to read the
contents without
getting distracted by
the background.

the masthead from the

version to keep to the
house style.

the market to get inspiration from.
