1. Main Image – The image
is a medium close up of
the character from the
TV series Vampire
Diaries. The location of
where the picture is
taken is based on where
the TV series is set. The
character is positioned
to the left hand side of
the frame so that the text
can be positioned
alongside of it. The
character is also looking
directly at the camera,
which involves the
audience. The way in
which he is dressed is in
a casual way with his
sleeves rolled up which
suggests he may be a
hard worker. His buttons
on his top are undone.
This connotes that he
provides some sex
appeal to the series,
which is targeting a
female audience. The
image takes up the left
had side of the double
page spread,
whichmakes it the main
focus. It will also relate
to the article on the right
hand side of the page,
which follows the typical
codes and conventions
of a double spread page.
Masthead- Big and bold, draws the readers attention
to the title. It’s a catchy title, short and sweet. It’s
white so it’s a contrast to the dark and dull
background, which makes it more appealing.
Sub heading– summarises what the
article is about and ‘The Vampire
Diaries’ is in bold which emphasises the
fact that the article is about the series.
Columns– separates
the text up so creates
a clear page layout.

follow.
Article- starts off
with a small
introduction about
the interview. The
interview
questions are then
split up into
paragraphs with
the question being
in a different
colour, which
distinguishes the
question from the
answer so it’s clear
to read.

little bit of what is going to happen in
the upcoming series, which will
provide the audience will a little extra
and entice them into watching the new
