Well known celeb

(Cameron Diaz)

I have annotated each magazine cover with what is on the front of each one;

this shows the similarities and differences. In my opinion I believe the third

cover is most appealing. Even though there is not as much detail as the first or

second it shows a simple effect which catches my eye. I like the colour scheme

of the second cover as the pink contrasts the black and white which suggests

love, neutrality and purity. I like that the second and third images haven’t been

as edited as much as the first one, it keeps the models looking natural and not

fake. I think that the first one makes Jennifer look like Barbie and, it has too

many cover lines.
