2. Image: One main
image has been used
on this double page
spread to make it very
specific and it shows
the whole scene of
both the actor in the
film “Will Smith” and
the crew actually
filming him. This takes
all the attention to the
photo and not so much
about the article.
Article: The article is used to promote the film and
encourage people to watch it. It includes
selective quotes from sources and interviews that
are related to the film.
Title: it is in bold capital lettering so it stands out
compared to the smaller writing. The dark blue
contrasts with the white background which is also
enhanced by the off blue box behind the title,
naming the film that it is promoting.
Text: the text is down the left hand side of the
page with it then proceeding in two columns
across the bottom of the page. There’s also text
over the top of the image in a small bubble
saying who’s in the photo and what it is.
Font: The text is all the same font style
but different colours (shades of blue)
and different sizes depending on
whether it is a title, subtitle or body of
the text.
3. Font: this text is in a very large bold font in white
to contrast with the black background. This is
used and stands right out on the page meaning
its very clear. Also the writing is in an easy to
read font which makes it more audience friendly.
Text: there is only a small amount of text on this
double page spread in columns on the bottom of
the left hand page as well as a very small column
on the far right hand side.
Additional features: page number and the name
of the magazine in the bottom right/left hand
corner of the double page spread.
Photos: on this page there
are 2 main images all
including the main
characters. This convention
is used so that it shows
something that the viewer will
be familiar with if they watch
the show/film.
Layout: in terms of the photos
and the text layout the photos
take up the majority of the
page with on main image
with a secondary one, with
numerous added images
along the base of the page
4. This is a page completely dedicated to
documentaries showing during the week in
What’s on TV weekly magazine. They all
have a photograph which is symbolic of
the show and to represent what it will be
about vaguely without having to read the
corresponding text. These are usually
close ups or a mid shot showing multiple
people. Otherwise they will show some
form of scenery but they almost always
include a person.
Underneath the photograph is a brief
sentence to kind of symbolise the
documentary without explaining it. Then
the name of the documentary is shown so
it can be recognised when seen later on in
the guide, alongside its time of broadcast
and its channel.
This is all shown in more bold writing so
that its easily read and picked up on when
skimming the magazine. However when
the description goes into more depth with
the full brief of the programme a smaller
and more simple font and colour is used,
compared to the red titles.
5. This is a small documentary section in What’s on TV Magazine.
6. This is a small documentary section in What’s on TV Magazine.
Article: the article uses a house style of having
a large beginning letter which starts off the
article. This is a typical convention of any
article. Also the article uses a title/new heading
during the article itself.
Titles: the main title is very thought
provoking and is very large and bold
meaning it’s the first thing seen when looked
at the article. The subtitles/brief description
underneath is in yellow and a bit smaller but
not as small as the text itself.
Photos: there’s two photos of the two
people in which the documentary
involves which is a typical use of
photography. There is one main image
followed by another inset one. They
both contain a caption making it clear
who they are and where/when it was.
Colours: the colours used for the page
correspond with the magazine itself so it keeps it
consistent with the rest of it. This is very
important when making a magazine page, so its
easily identified as part of the book
