Magazine 1: Rowing Magazine

The cover utilizes majority of the upper and lower parts in order to fit the cover photo within the center. This makes the focus of the cover the rowing celebrating, whose fist is also interacting with the text by covering part of the words in the title. The font fits the rowing theme of the magazine, since it is a sports- like font that you may find on a jersey or popular sports brand name. It is also italicized which gives of a feeling of movement, like the rowers speeding through the water. The color of the font also goes along with the color of the feature's logo, the World Rowing Tournament 2017. The articles in this magazine don't seem to appear until the middle. It is packed with all kinds of advertisements, centered around rowing. The first article, which is written by the editor, is not found until the 14th page of the magazine. But, once you reach the articles towards the middle of the magazine, there is a lot of articles about the races that took place at the tournament and comments from some of the racers. This magazine, in particular, does not consist of any table of contents. The articles all have photos of rowers during races, from different points of view whether they are aerial shots or zoomed in. The distribution number for this magazine is estimated around 80,000, but is only distributed to members of the organization that publishes it. The magazine has, unfortunately, not been nominated for any awards.
