The document analyzes the layout and design elements of a magazine page advertising a television show. It describes the large main image taking up the right page, with text wrapping around. It also notes a smaller secondary image of the same person on the left page. The masthead at top left catches the reader's attention, while the stand-first and pull quote help summarize and intrigue readers. Details of the show like channel and time allow viewers to watch, and column formatting, drop caps, and side quotes aid readability and focus on key elements. The purpose is to gain inspiration from similar advertising pages and remember conventions for a professional quality.

1. The main image occupies the whole of the right hand page and is a
medium close up of a woman, presumably related to the TV show
that the article is about. Her shoulder also starts to go on to the left
hand page where the text then wraps around her image. This
creates a very bold and striking image which makes the simple
layout of the page more impressive. She is the same person who is
in the secondary image on the left, however here she appears to be
out of character, meaning she is trying to relate to us as her normal
self.
The mast head is in a serif style font and is across the
top left hand side of the page. This follows
conventions as it is in bolder, larger writing than the
main text and will catch your attention before any of
the text. ‘Class warrior’ perhaps gives an insight into
what the text is about and may interest this shows
audience to read on.
The stand-first has been
placed directly under the
mast head before the main
article. This helps to briefly
summarize what the article is
about so that it can interest
the readers into reading
it/watching it.
The secondary image is substantially
smaller than the main image and has
been placed in between the article in the
middle of the page. It is a lot smaller
than the main image so that our
attention is drawn to her out of character
first. She is shown dressed in character
which is most likely relevant to the article
which is about a program
The pull quote is placed directly
under the secondary image,
perhaps because it is a quote from
the character in the image. Pull
quotes are used to persuade the
reader to read the article as an
interesting quote may intrigue
them to find out more.
Here we get information on the
name of the program, the
channel it will be on and the
time. This is important as the
main function of the article is to
advertise the show and this is
essential for anyone to be able to
watch it.
The page numbers
have been located in
the bottom corners of
the double page
spread. This is so it is
easier for readers of
the magazine to find
the page that this
article is on.
This side quote has
been placed in the
top right corner so
that it is out of the
way of the image,
however it’s still
important as it relates
to the main image by
telling us who it is.
The main article has been
split in to 3 columns
which makes it easier to
read and also gives the
impression of an article
format. A drop caps has
been used to start each
new section. They are an
effective way of diverting
the readers attention to
the article whilst also
adding personality and
visual strength to the
page.
