4. Orange graphic used
behind pull quote, to
make the quote stand out
Yellow graphic used
behind text, this is
probably the most
important text on
the whole page
Graphics on page,
prevents page from
looking boring and
ensures it is eye
catching instead
Yellow Graphic is used for
stand first
Green graphics
is used at
bottom of page
to go with the
green theme on
page.
Large graphic in
middle of page,
immediately
captures attention (
this causes visual
hierarchy as this is
where reader looks
first)
Pink graphic used at top of
page to distract from black
background, so audience
read the text on it
5. Layout & DesignDouble Page Spread
what i like is that the image is a half spread,
which can make it visual and more easier to
read and understand the double page spread
i like the way the
heading overlaps the
image on the other half
of the spread. gives it a
better of a design, so i
might use that in my
ancillary
i like the way the text
also is on the image,
but has a transparent
text box baling the
audience to view the
image whilst reading.
might use that kind of
layout in our ancillary
i like how there is graphics n the
background as it is linked the spread. might
be due to lines on a map as there is a sea
and can be linked to that which makes the
spread more exciting and makes it more
interesting to read
this looks simple but the simplicity
of it makes the spread look better
and well organises. as the
photograph is light and the clothes
are light coloured it would match
the spread. by matching the image
and the spread colour can make
the spread look more presentable
i like how the text is in an angle and so is the
photograph, by matching the image and the
photograph can make the spread look more creative
and interesting as the photograph and the text match
6. Text
• By creating this vines effect on
text it relates to the overall topic
of the article
• The close spacing between
the words and lines allows
the letters to connect with
each other but still remain
neat
• Difference in the
heading title
size, changes the
visual hierarchy
and allows the
reader to focus
on yellow writing
• This is text that many game players would
be familiar with would catch the target
audience’s eye
• The
spacing of
the letter
and
boldness
of font
draws the
audience’s
attention
to the title
• The slanted letters
relates to what the
text states
• Very unconventional as the pull quote is
the title but it’s a creative idea
• The cursive font suggest its for a female
audience
• Font style looks very
retro and could be
associated with
retro old video
games
7. Body text • Use of bold, italics to
highlight each subtopic
• Use of graphics to create banner for each
subtopic
• First letter of each paragraph is coloured red
is emphasise where each new paragraph
starts
• Lines are
used to
divide each
column
• Columns have equal
space between them
• Body text follows shape
of images in the article
• Text is placed in the middle
of the page which is unusual
but looks neat on the DPS
10. Yellow orange
and white, give
a happy, joyful
feel to the page
Subtle blues
and greens
enable page to
look neutral,
and not too in
your face
The theme is purple,
red and black giving
a feel of night life
Red and white
id the theme,
red prevents
white page
from looking
bland
Page is mostly
black but has
spots of
colour, to
prevent page
from looking
dull
Pink and blue, makes
the page appear quite
feminine
Green and black is the
colour theme
11. Layout & DesignAdvertisement
what these channel 4 adverts have in common is that they
are all split. and that makes the advert creative and the
audience start to question who are these people that would
create one person
this particular advert is
split between 2 people
and its about them. i
can use this idea as the
female and male would
join in as one as we
both talk about them in
our documentary series
the logo is normally on the side of the advertisement, and it matches the
graphics where the text is. this would make the advertisement more
presentable as there are random colours which can disturb the audience
where to look at, so it balances out where the audience would look at the
advertisement
this advertisement is
different than the
others. this one shows
there full face but
shows them all
separately in one
advertisement. but also
uses the same colour of
the logo and on the
graphics. this would be
a good idea to use in
our ancillary to match
the colour of the logo
and the graphics
12. Text
• Using graphics to create white background allows audience to see
black font on dark background
• Font size contributes to
visual hierarchy as size of
the font decreases as the
reader would read down
the page
• Using a bright colour for the
background colour is a good idea as it
make the titles of the title more eye
catching
• Show’s slogan is placed at top left corner and is a bigger font
than title of show
• Slogan also matches cracked effect image in the background
• Purple background of text
box and filter added to
primary image matches
which maintains the
consistency of the ad
13. Font styleThe Tumblr font would be good to use
– further if we write our statistics on
Tumblr, we would use this font,
familiar to our audience
This font from iMessage could
be used because it has
familiarity with our audience.
This font is used in a
very popular video game
and links to our
documentary because
we chose this particular
video game to show
I like the broken text effect
– it could imply the
separation of the media
and audience or the broken
and influenced mind of the
audience form the media
Again this big bold font
would be eye catching for
readers – it would appear
important and dominant on
the double page spread
For the question about
video game effects on
society, using bold
headline s, this would be
good for gaining an
audiences attention
I like the simplistic
‘New Roman Times’
font because it is very
common to use
The use of embedding
images will interpret texts
as they are shown on
social networking sites,
which is more eye catching
to a audience – and shown
what our documentary is
about
14. Text/paragraph
Bold drop quotes
would be good to
include on the
double page spread
to show the
statistics or for a
preview of the
subjects opinion
Having some words
bolder than the
other have the
effect of making it
eye catching
The manipulation of size
of the headline visually
enforces the drama –
somewhat creates an
effect before reading the
article
I like the format of
putting the large
headline directly above
the preview paragraph
to the article – so you
look at the headline
then the body text
(visual hierarchy)
The use of the
colour coding in this
paragraph would be
able to highlight the
major key points in
the article
I like the way how the
headline is different in
comparison to the font
used in the stand first
and body text
underneath
15. Photography style
I like the way of how
the photography here
has a blurred
background but has
capital bold red text
over it – implying the
blame of video games
effecting us.
The animation shown in this image could be
useful in the double page spread as to when
it is mentioning the violence of video game
having on video gamers
This is a good wide shot of
photography where we see
an adult playing a game.
Judging by his mise-en-
scene, his facial expression
highlights his frustration
that he has while playing
the game – useful because
it shows how video games
effect both mentality and
physicality
I like how this platform of a
technological device has
blood on the control which
can also be used to show
the audience the violence
of video games – in
GTA5/COD etc
I like how this
photography shows the
TV screen of the video
game blended in with the
background of the room
I like the grey colour scale in this picture,
because it emphasises the lack of
originality and audience influence from
video game - It portrays a dark side,
enforcing our point about the negativity
about video games
I like the way the
animation is
coming out the TV
- the dark blue
creates a creepy
atmosphere – we
could use this
technique with a
video game
character
