This document analyzes the layout, design elements, and effectiveness of a magazine advertisement for "The Last Crusade". The two-page ad uses a large black and white image of Bob Marley that spans both pages. Text on the left provides information about the subject in all capital letters and features splashes of colored text highlighting important names. The simple black and white image allows the reader to focus on Marley without distraction. Overall, the ad demonstrates how importance can be conveyed through a double-page spread that highlights key details through strategic use of images, font, and color.

1. Analysis of magazine
advert
The Last Crusade

2. I chosen to use this magazine advert as it is used across 2
page spread. Although this is not a magazine advert for
an album release, I wanted to analyse it as it
demonstrates how the advertisement could be used
across a double page spread.
Layout
Large initial image presented taking up at least one page
itself, spreads across both pages.
Information about the spread shown on the left hand
side, your eye is drawn to that after the image glares at
you, daring you to read.
A double paged image declares importance's and
demands you to notice it.
Font
• All presented in capital letters. This also declares importance. ‘The Last Crusade’.
• The black colour stand out nicely against the grey toned background, without being too alarming.
• Splashes of pain colour are swiped over names within the paragraph. This shows importance within
these names almost so you read them before reading the rest of the information. After a close look
you see that the colours used here are also the colours used within the flag on the lion. This rounds
the aesthetic of nicely.

3. Image
The image is taken in Black and White. I like
this as it highlights no importance within or
areas.
The simplicity of the image allows the reader to
respect and appreciate Bob Marley.
The two page spread shows the importance of
him, and I feel no colour is needed. This also
then makes the colours used within the text
more affective.
what I have learnt
• Highlight on your advert what you believe
to be the most important aspects which
you want to get across to the viewer.
• Clear font standing out nicely against
image
• Appreciate the use of colour and how you
can use it simplicity.
