and to create further impact. Also It has the shape around it to create Even more effect:

Main cover line-Big bold. The writing is Bigger

then the rest (even though this

magazine is nearly plain)Consists of loads of pictures

Pictures to add more effect.They are arranged in a sensible Way and is organised well. It is effective the way they over lap

each other.

Good choice of background.

Going all the way down there is a list of

pages and what you can find

on them.

The word ’contents’ is in big simple white writing. Like all of the other it stands out.

The background is very simple and is a picture of

Some balloons. The colours stand out from the rest of the

whole page.

The layout is rather Simple and is easy to

Understand. Has a simple picture as

the main picture.

Page 9: As media 2u

These pictures add more effect

and most magazines only include one big

picture to stand out.The two on the right

hand side has big bold boarders around them.

This adds extra effect as they will make the pictures stand out.

The word ‘contents’ is written in a funky way to make it

stand out from the rest of the Writing however it is the same

colour as the boxes on the lower half. This is effective

because it looks good and will

attract the target audience.

There is a good choice of colours used.

Pink and white both stand out and go together perfectly.The numbers are white and the writing is black and this

also Works.

Columns show the features included in the magazine.

Like in some content pages they are not highlighted but they are in a different colour which makes them stand out.

In big funky writing so stands out.

The main picture covering half of the content page.

Page 10: As media 2u

On the right hand side of the page there is a column that highlights the main features Included in this weeks issueThe features are numbered which correspond with the number of the picture. This is effective and makes the

reader want to read on Further.

Little subheading are used and there are in the bright Yellow font this is to show

The importance of the Subheadings. These split up the page and makes it easier for the reader to find what they are looking for.

On the left hand corner there is a little message from the Editor this is along side a

picture from the front cover. Normally the type

of language used is chatty and informal. This is effective

as they are attracting the target Audience and offers a

more personal approach to the reader.

There are a number of different pictures

included on this contents page, each display the

image of rockers.

At the top of the page is a black box

with a contrast of yellowWriting to make the page

more noticeable.

Page 11: As media 2u

In the right top hand

Corner- highlights the main Features included.

The features are Numbered in a small font

which is the same as the writing. Colour

Contrast, Black writing on a grey plain sky.

The fonts are bold but also seem like some sort of handwriting but

created in a way that it is clear to the audience that

it is the features.

Mood has been set for the typeOf music genre for the

magazine. The background picture is rather dull and has

set a certain mood. The man is in all black which suggests That

he is a famous/important person.

Contrast with the grey and black.

Includes a image of the front cover. Includes no

Message from the editor, and some might say that thiscontents page could be

boring and plain.

The word contents is placed at the top left hand corner.

It is in big, bold writing which stands out. It is in simple

Font.

Background is dull and is a grey colour.

Page 12: As media 2u

‘Contents’ is written in a bright red box

and is in white writing.

Page 13: As media 2u

The main picture is of the band Limp Bizkit and their body language is an angry sort of pose which

Suggests that the article is serious. Having this picture in colour wouldn’t been so effective as having it in dull colours, because it is a serious

article.

The title is in speech marks which is

Suggesting that it is what someone said.Also it changes from

black to red. This adds more Effect. The

exclamation mark at the end

makes it look as if someone

may have said it while they were

angry or shouting.

The word ‘exclusive’ makes

the article sounds more interesting and attracts

the reader attention

At the beginning of the article the words

‘Limp Bizkit’Is written in bold

Red writing which draws the reader in

The layout of the double page spread is not cluttered it is very simple and not over the top. The reader can find it very easy.

Page 14: As media 2u

The main picture is of Lily Allen in amid shot.

The picture stands out from everything else because she is wearing red

and the background is plain therefore there is a contrast of colours.

The picture is always related with the article and is actually serious.

Her body position shows this. Her clothing looks quite normal and casual

This is the front cover of the double page spread and I think that the main colours for this magazine is black, white and red. This show throughout the whole entire magazine.

The title like the one before includes speech marks which suggests

that someone has said it but howevershe is not shouting. The title is in fancy writing( black and white) and

stands out. As soon as people turn over the page it is the first thing people

will see.

The name lily Allen is highlighted and this gets the reader interested and

engages the reader to read even further

The whole layout of this double page spread is all very serious. The colours represent this : Black, red and white.

They are all very serious colours and has used them greatly.

Page 15: As media 2u

The image above suggests that the guy is trying to

act hard/ big. You can tell this because of his body position, he has his hands in

each one of his pockets and has sunglasses on looking away from the

Audience. There is a contrast of colours. The black and grey background: even the white.

The article starts with a fancy ‘W’. This is to add extra

effect

There are 2 sections of this double page spreadsheet, on one

side there is pictures and less writing,

however the other side consists of writing only.

This writing stands out from the rest

and is in big, bold, black writing.

This writing stands out from the rest because it has a different

font and is also in a different colour.

The plain grey background is effective. This is becauseblack writing is over the top of it and it is a contrast in coloursThe blue writing doesn’t go with the black and grey however it stands out and looks good. Some magazines don’t think

about the contrast in colours.

The writing looks like it is in some handwriting and is small
