The second comparison is between a pop front cover but the cover closely resembles a R & B theme within the way it targets the young audience which mine misses to an extent. The mast head is of a very bright colour which looks to be a little gradient as it approaches the edge and also has a grunge effect which slices the text all VERY EXCITING! And again the main colours are of the characters complexion whist mine is only from the background mostly and the characters are forced to blend with the background unlike most other magazines in which the background is forced to blend with the characters; Again, the text seems to be very round and of great quality keeping the simplicity and leaving the page fresh I was unfortunate as I hade a limited amount of text to use if only I could have used such texts, also the texts were bold which I did not do to make blending easier also! And in the great spaces symbols are used again and this I could have used to attract the audience I also noticed that though my left third holds most of the information it is just as interesting as the other half. Fortunately the magazine I am comparing my magazine to holds a gradient showing all magazines should hold a gradient no matter how visible at least in the lightest of ways. Though I am comparing my magazine to this magazine convection wise my is superior as it hold most if not close to all the convections whilst this magazine misses even the simplest of conventions.

The front page of my magazine is brilliant and as I place it between two different magazines of different genres you will soon see, it surprisingly looks professional, but has some errors which are clearly visible. This magazine is laid out perfectly the following page holds page numbers but the following were missing page numbers. The house colour is of the range of blue – purple/pink but the colours are not simplistic they where made to show a sense of elegance within the ladies as well as leaving it neutral enough to attract males.
From the first comparison with another jazz title it is evident my magazine pursues some of it s features and of course not all besides I picked a random jazz magazine to harden the similarities the two magazines but hold white mastheads which fade smoothly unto the background, similar techniques in which help the image smoothly blend within its background for similar levels and foreground colours; the magazine which I am comparing to my magazine is good and has very different effects also such as the text overlaying the image having similar colour to the mans completion and the main image being a close-up – extreme close-up. The image of the man features an instrument which makes its theme very clear and mine also as the two ladies are seen with very sophisticated jewellery, the man shows a distinction expression which shows power and mixed emotions and my magazine of clear thoughts making it calm, being jazz this magazine is very simple holding only a simple black background whereas mine holds a gradient, and where the could have put PLUS they have instead placed a + symbol.
The jazz magazine follows conventions (sell line) which I have missed or replaced/ moved into the banners which COULD be acceptable, also this magazine holds the perfect slogan which I could have modified and used to my liking for example (The square, UK’s best/ only selling/ Jazzical magazine).
