This is an article on Brian Eno for The Face magazine (1983). It's a double page spread with opposite crosses. The cross on the left hand side frames the text. The photograph is out of focus in the background signifying the ashtray prehaps highlighting their bad habit and sort of lifestyle or feel of the text.

This is a article from The Face magazine (1982) showing fashion sum glasses. It was an usually expressed for this era. I like the chosen layout of the pages with the information at the bottom but the models made significant. The thing that i don't agree with is the reflective background of the mannequinnes clash with the sunglasses. The bottom is also well organised and clear with the title in the unusal place of the bottom left and further information clearly stated at the bottom right.

This is an interesting Nike advertisment. The use of the opposite colours of black and white really make it stand out including the white lettering on the black skin. All the words are bold and straight to the point like in the other examples and are used in linked lines keeping it framed. The hint of red also draws the eye to the Nike logo and the company slogan is directly below the logo, again highlighting the company.
