14. How is the layout effective?
The layout is effective because the main
image of bond is captivating and its very
easily recognised by the mass public.
Further the images taken from the film to get the audience excited for the
new film to come.
Also using a drop quote – editors usually emphasise the most interesting and
catching quote – so the audience will read it and then want to reach the rest
of the article.

15. Style of font
In the same font but in black to
suit the white background starts
of the paragraph showing where
the article begins
The front is very plain but thick – making it seem masculine.
Also the white front seems more classy suiting the bond
theme.

16. Style of graphics & photo manipulation
They focus on bond running
and made the background
blurred to make him stand out
more – making it seem more
intense.
They used Photoshop to add in a fight
scene in the film to make it more suited
and more comfortable onto the page.

photos as they’re different

The font is written In capitals making it
more bold and stand out.
Also it seems as though its been cut out
of a magazine from the way it’s put in
boxes slanted in different positions.
Further it matches the darkness of the
whole double page spread.

22. Style of graphics & photo manipulation
They put on many photos that are the
same size, making it seem like a photo-
booth
They edited shadow onto her
face, making it seem more
intense and mysterious.
They added an effect onto
the pictures making it
grey-ish to further
intensify the shot and to
make them all match up

catching

The font almost blends in with the
background to not take away from
the picture.
The font is small and white – delicate
looking
This font is a common theme within
the magazine – which looks like its
been taken from a magazine and
stuck in different positions on the
page. Its in capitals standing out that
it’s the title and white background
with black font

28. Style of graphics & photo manipulation
The sky is almost faded and made to be
more pastel and lighter than it would
have been hen the photo was taken
There is shadow edited onto
her face which makes her face
less harsh in comparison to the
light pastel theme of the
double page spread

more with the sky – creating a
softer image
