Magazine Double Page Spread

This is our final magazine double page spread. We belive this successfuly attracts the target audience much the same as the documentary did. We used colours our focus group said they preferred and incorporated this into the magazine. We also did this with fonts, images and general layout; as we wanted to make the magazine as appropriate as possible to the target audience. However we also feel the double page spread looks professional and therefore will attract audiences outside of our target audience. We have also highlghted key words and phrases in bright red writing this is to attract the reader to shocking or important information and also follows the conventions of real magazines. Also following conventions of real life magazines we have made important quotes large and wrapped the rest of the text around them. This gives the impression of being a very important statement which will draw the reader to the article so they can find out what the documentary is about. However following advice from our target audience we did also break some codes and conventions of double page spreads as we used several smaller images rather than one large image. This layout was suggested by the target audience as they feel having smaller images around the article make the double page spread look more professional and they will therefore be more interested in reading the article. We also added serval small details which follow the codes of magazine double page spread and make the magazine look professional; this includes page numbers, the name of the magazine and credits to writers and photographers. Overall we are very happy with our double page spread as it not only advertises the documentary (what it includes but also the quality of the documentary is reflected by the quality of the magazine) it also attracts both our target audience and general readers by using large text and bright colours. This means more people will be aware of the documentary resulting in more viewers.
