19. layout design
The background is a photograph
of the famous singer.
Another, smaller
photo which slightly
overlaps the larger one
and has a white frame
to make it stand out.
The title is bold and in white to
make it stand out to the reader.
It overlaps the large image of
Shakira

20. how is the layout effective and eye
catching?
• The layout is not very
effective as it is quite
common in
magazines, therefore it does
not stand out.
• If it doesn’t stand out from
the rest it will not catch the
readers attention.
• There are no interesting color
schemes used and the large
image of Shakira seems to
fade in the background
The text in a white box is very because of all the overlapping
typical and boring. images and text.

21. style of graphics/
photo manipulation
• Some of the colours in the larger
image appear to be enhanced and
made brighter in order to make the
image more bold and eye-catching.
• The smaller photograph has been
air-brushed and touched up.
• The lighting has also been
darkened to add a shadow around
her, thus making her stand out
more in the frame.

22. organisation of information
• At first glance the first thing
you see is the larger image of
Shakira because of its size and
its placed almost at the centre
of the layout.
• The next thing that’s most
visible is the second
photograph of the singer
• Finally the reader is drawn to
the bold white title which
leads them to the text below.
