here are some of the conclusions i have came up with..
Codes and Conventions of Magazine Double Page Spread
- All have a main image which is relevant to the article.
- Main text bigger than all text.
- Columns.
- Heading Long- Stands out.
- Simple colour scheme- colours keep to a minimum.
- One large picture which takes up to a whole page and sometimes bleeds between pages. (link the two pages together).
- Sometimes the picture is a cross the whole DPS with all text on the picture.
- Quotes are used sometimes in the title/headline on the picture stand first or to break up the text.
- The stand first introduces the article and is positioned at the begginning of the headline.
- Often includes the journalists name.
- First letter of the article is bigger to show you where to start reading.
- Other techniques for the same thing include bold text, slightly bigger type space, capitals at the start of the article.
- Sometimes uses stylized fonts.
- Headlines used to draw the reader in but don't tell them what the articles about thats done by stand first.
- Byline-who wrote the article, photographers credit.
- Laid out in 2-4 columns.
- Strap line at the top- what the article is about.
- The article is usually written infromally and the personality
- of the journalist come through.
looking at all the different style models i have been influenced by this
