Notes
O & S Front Cover• The masthead is nice and
colourful with a font appealing to it’s target audience – art students.
• The main image has been manipulated to give it an artistic watercolour effect.
• No particular coverlines as such, they are names of artists and poets featured in the magazine.

Skin-Deep Front cover• Big, attractive title, features a
catchy selling line “The UK’s best selling tattoo magazine.”

Comparisons
• O & S appeals to artistic and designer students and younger people, who like to create drawings and paintings, or write poetry.
• Skin-Deep appeals to younger people, artistic students and creative people who think of the human body as art.
• O & S seems a very shy magazine compared to Skin-Deep. O & S has a basic front cover, featuring a few artists involved in the main articles of the magazine. Skin-Deep has a wackier design, featuring many coverlines, events and interviews.
