The cover features athlete Tyrus Jones who plays for Duke's basketball team. The jersey he is wearing is all white with blue letters and the sport illustrated titles is all blue with white outline. The words "ONE.DONE." going across the page are in big white letters. The color theme is white and blue because of Duke's color scheme. 

Articles Included:

Throughout the magazine there are many articles on basketball and baseball. On pages 4-9, it features an article on the Cubs vs Cardinals. This article has mainly pictures that take up the page and short descriptions of the teams. Then on pages 28-38, there is an article that talks about Duke's players. It begins on the first two pages of an action shot where Jones goes in for a lay up. This large picture will attract any readers when flipping through the pages because it is colored in white and red with big bold letters going across the top that say "DEAL WITH THE DEVILS". Finally, on pages 48-53, it talks about Mike Napoli and his life story. It features a picture of him holding a bat on the first page in black and white then the rest of the pages it goes into deep detail about baseball and his journey. 

Table of Contents:

There is only one photo featured on the table of contents and it takes up a majority of the page. It is of a hockey team and fans that have their hands in the air and seem to be celebrating. The photo and words are in black and white which gives it an older feel while the page numbers are in orange to add a bit of color. 

Ads:

At the beginning of the magazine on page 3, there is an ad for Volvo. It shows a picture of two new cars and a short slogan for their company. On page 23, there is also a car ad but for Honda. It shows five different types of Hondas in styles and colors. I also shows a man at the bottom right corner with him saying "Huge deals on almost anything for your garage". Finally, there is an ad on page 25 for Axe. It shows a picture of three white bottles of body wash and underneath the picture it says "For a Fresh, Invigorating clean". The article features these ads because people who are attracted to sports could also have an interest in cars. The target audience is probably more towards men. They also included the Axe because it is a popular brand for men they use so it is promoting their new body wash.
