Even though both these magazines double page spread aren't of the genre I will peruse, however the layout and presentational devices used and judging on there success enables me to adapt these an use them to my advantage.
8 Hour Endurance Magazine Two Page SpreadLayout and mise-on-scene
Photography and Images
However the right hand side of the double page spread the images are not conventionally laid out with a large long shot of the various in motion bikers which gives the sense of the event being a race and the variation in competitors. The lighting is bright and is set in the day which implies the invent is very innocent but still competitive.
The image to the right hand corner of the image above is a mid-long shot the same as the first image which captures the whole biker on performance linking with genre of the magazine and the link between the competitors above and the event they are participating in.
The first image is a mid-long shot of individual on the motorbike which fades into the plain white background which makes the image more dynamic because of the vibrant colours such as red. The red in the bike is linked with the master head ‘Young Blood’ which is in white with a black rim which keeps the readers attention on the image. The writing is conventionally set in four colours at the bottom of the page which is in a simple type face which goes with the simplistic black text colour. The reason I believe this colour scheme is because the information is factually based and of a detailed nature.
The right hand corner of the biker side ways mid-shot of the biker is smaller than all the other images on the double page spread because it has relevance to the topic but it suggests this competitor is less significance in the motor biking world than the other two images. Why around the images the text is situated around it uniformly in the same typeface and monotone black which again leads the reader to believe the information is factual and more complex read and could loss the readers attention easily as only for a specific target audience.
'NDORFIN Events Double Page Spread Review
Mise-On-Scene
This magazine use outdoor symbols to create a dynamic and interesting background which also acts as a effective topic divider as the wood surface is used to home the main body of information where as the blue water like surf board shaped area in the far left hand side acts as a event list and the sun like column on the far right hand side acts as a merchandise promotion. The quarter of the wheel implies to the reader that some of the events will be linked with mountain or road biking by the thickness of the tire we can tell this, theory is also enforced by the image of the bikers to the left.
The type face is simple and present in white which is used thought out the main body of information as it makes the text flow and is reader able on all surfaces used and is still easy to read without the hindrance of the background. This is very clever as it enables the publisher to have more versatility with the background without having to consider the legibility of the writing.
The master head of the magazine is used and incorporated to make the master head for the double page spread. The logo is a very clever as it reads ‘NDORFIN’ which reads as endorphins which are the hormones released when you are excited and implies the events will give the people or participants a an adrenaline rush which is mirrored by the ECG like pulse at the side of the N.Also this links with the sports pictured in the images across the double page spread such as wind surfing. The 3D effect is used and expresses the power of the events and how much and there popularity and the pulse it gives people. The sub-heading ‘Event’ is in the same type face as the main body of writing yet it is reversed into the type face being black this makes it stand out and links with the writing again joined with the master head. The publisher uses the colouring of the background to link other parts of the writing such as the grey areas linking to the surfboard.
The section titled ‘HIGH PERFORMANCE MUFFS’ is used as a merchandise advert area. The background behind the muffs is used to imply these muffs are really special and are really special and a must have.The colours used also symbolise the sun which keeps the theme of the background of being things associated with the natural environment. This has also enabled the Publisher to get the sponsors logos in which uses different type faces but the same colour scheme as used throughout the magazine. Overall this is very effective as it divides the advert from the main body of the two page spread but keep in the theme used through out but is more dynamic due to strobe used to mimic the sun which catches the readers attension.
Images and Photography
The images used are framed in a white which gives the audience the sense of the images being arranged as a scrap book as the images are conforming with the conventions and are slightly of angle which implies a sense of risk in the activity.
The images used use a variation of camera shots to engage the reader from using point of view shots which enables the reader to relate to the participants. Also long shots for such images as the wide surfing and water sports which enables the audience to see the freedom it gives and there idyllic setting it is based and the skill which is required. Also the image is a good tool which implies to the audience the nature of the events.
