This cover of Vanity Fair displays contrast in a affective and positive way. The contrast of black and white with the text works because it makes it pop against the background. The contrast in text sizes works successfully because it leads the viewer in order through the navigation. Although the contrast isn't very bold in this cover it is done in a successful way. Even the simple contrast of the background color and the white heading text makes a big difference and I feel really made this cover visually appealing.
This cover for Bop displays a horrible use of contrast. I understand contrast is to get the viewer's attention,but this makes it very difficult to read things and navigate through the cover. The contrast in color is too much, there are too many colors that don't compliment each other. The contrast in scale of the photos and their juxtaposition makes the overall cover tacky.
