Spin magazine isn't exactly a competitor as it is mainly pop but it does have a range, which sometimes involves rock, but I wanted to compare it to a magazine that's not a direct competitor to see if it still looks like a real magazine and to show why I didn't do this things this magazine did.
Spin magazine is using a variety of font sizes and although that can be effective it didn't work for mine, obviously I used a bigger font for my title and the name of the band and I did vary the font sizes but I wouldn't want one thing to seem more important than another other than the main topic because I feel that looks confusing and I did want mine to mainly look quite organised. Spin does this because it needs to look slightly rougher or more interesting as it just has a white background and nothing major is interesting about the image where as mine has quite a lot going on, it has the slightly coloured background and the shadow the animal and the images and black information bar at the bottom.
What I do like about Spin's magazine though is that they focused on the blue of the models eyes and used that in the sell lines and the simplicity of it is nice but wouldn't work for something more rocky and older looking. It wouldn't fit my target audience, Spin is for a younger more female audience.I also like how the text is wrapped around her body, I did try that on around the face of my model and the name of the band goes with the shape of the rabbits back so that things flow better.
