Before producing the magazine article for our documentary ‘Life Choices’ I looked at different double page spreads to get

an idea for layout and content.

Title of the article, isn’t the title of the programme advertised however uses catchy phrase. Audience are aware this is an article advertising ‘Doctor Who’ but also can see an idea of what will be in the article. Uses yellow for the text this colour fits with the theme as is used again however is still the boldest, most eye catching part of the page.

Again yellow used, creating a theme and highlighting important text on the page

Images are of the cast of doctor who, including the ‘new’ character advertised. All the facial expressions of the characters relate to the article and what the programme will be about.

Subheading used within the article drawing the reader, and intriguing him/her.

The actual text isn’t the most predominant part of the page and is in fact pushed to the corner leaving the images used as the biggest part. Whilst in the corner is still a reasonable amount of text.

This article in contrast to the previous one, does not have a major heading but it in the top corner in black. Makes the page a lot more dominated by images rather than text. However as the images are of the character in Doctor Who audience can easily identify what this article is about.

Again even the main article of text is in the corner of the page and is tiny in comparison to the amount of space used for images. This makes the advertisement more visually appealing than wordy.

Appears to have two separate sections of text one main article and then this extra bit with subheading around on particular image.

More than one image is used in this article. The different images show to relate to what the article is discussing showing images of behind the scenes whilst verbally explaining as well.

Similarly to the other article, images take the majority of the page. In this one there is multiple pictures with this main one almost as a background with other relevant pictures dotted around on top.
