evo (Double Page Spread) Analysis #3

 This is a double spread from 'evo' magazine it a magazine from UK, this Double Page Spread feature a classic Porsche 911. This is a very simple double page spread, and yet its capable of capture attention form you from you. On the bottom left corner of the largest image is a small text which is the credit of the photographer and the owner of the car. The top left side of the page features a big I  this is to start of with confidence and how this car is to the the eye of car lovers, I also think that this I is to reflect humans simple desire is "I want". When most people saw a nice epic car what do they usually think, I can assure you that most people would think deep inside that they wanted the car, so I think this is to pull out peoples inner greed, because who wouldn't want a nice car for themselves. There are a text that is placed in the quotation mark this show that its a saying/quote form someone. This double page spread also features 2 more small images of the car which shows other part of the car, as shown above its the image of the sideways of the car when its in action and the next image is the image of the car's engine . The layout of this DPS is based on simplicity due to the fact that people who are in the market for classics cars are very like to be rich due to classic cars require a lot of maintenance and care also the parts are hard to find so it requires a lot of money top maintain it. Second reason is because they rich and they like classic cars its very likely that they are also into other classic things and most classic things are simple but elegant not flashy or complicated.

Wheels (Double Page Spread) Analysis #2

This is a Double page spread from 'Wheels' magazine from Australia, this DPS (Double Page Spread) features a Ferrari 488 GTB as u can see. Over 3/4 of the page is covered with the image of the Ferrari on a race track, below the back wheel you can see the stats of the car provided by the editor to inform you about the amazing stats the car have, since supercar/hypercar should be compare mainly with stats not the cost of it. On the right are The review by a first hand driver, you can also see the puff on the top left corner of the text saying "FIRST OVER SEAS DRIVE" which literally means this is tested/ drive overseas. A typical mast head "Ferrari 488 GTB" which is just like shouting out to you the name of the brand of the car and the mode name to make it stick to your head, as the texts are in black and white back ground is just to create contrast so its easy to read. Under the masthead it says "New twin-turbo V8 defines Maranello's 458 successor" this means that this car describe the Ferrari 458 which is the model before this one. Under all the text theres a preview of the back of the Ferrari 488 GTB its there just to give you the image of what the car would look like since the main image shows the front and the sides already. The last thing is on the bottom left and the bottom right there are 2 small text, on the left is the page number and the website of the magazine on the right is also the page number with the social network names of the magazine.

MOTOR TREND (Double Page Spread) Analysis #1

This is is a double page spread from 'MOTOR TREND' magazine from USA, this double page spread is made of one single photo of the new AUDI R8, taken from the back of another AUDI R8 this gives us how the front as well as the back of how it would look like. The text is white place on a grey background which makes it easier to read since the back ground would be dark grey to black. There is also a small picture of the fuel cap with R8 written on it, this is to tell us that which model it is just in case you don't know. The license plate also has the name of the model in it if you look carefully, this is a way that they use to tell the model it can be in letters, number or even both this is commonly use in car show and car magazine. On the top left it says "FIRST DRIVE|2017 Audi R8" is just simply telling us that its just release and this is the first drive of the new Audi R8. The text column on the bottom right is a review of the car written by the person who had first hand experience with the car. The title "(Nailing)The Follow-Up Album" nailing is o say that they are right on point, follow-up is a way to say that its increase it greatness, and album here is referring that the new Audi R8 is a piece of art. The smaller text on top is probably saying that the 2 gear kicks the hardest. The tiny words on top of this again is the person who commented this. Lastly the tiny text on the bottom left are credits of people who took a picture, provide the car, drove the car, crew etc...                                                     

My Magazine Analysis (Content Page)

This is the contents page the house style is grey, or more of simple colour which make it looks modern and simple. The page numbers are in gold-ish orange to fit to the gold writing on the front cover, there are 2 images here one with a girl(Janjao) relaxing listening to music to show that she is relaxing even thou she is at school. The text "Whatz zuppp" is using letters that is close 's' but doesn't sound like 's' and its like what teen agers like to use, this is to make it sound cooler that what is actually written like  this "whats up" it sounded too boring so this is why i choose this. The layout of this is fairly simple and had bit of overlap, this is because when it looks simple its easier to read and more attractive since they are on books most of the day so school mag shouldn't be packed with too much words, the over lapping is to make it looks like a stick on so it looks more young and like a diary with stickers stuck on.

My Magazine Analysis (Front Cover)

This is my final school magazine this is my friend as the main image and the photo is taken by me. The photo is been touched little by photo shop but not in significant changes, colour tone here would be gold, grey and black to give a good impression on how nice, fancy and posh. The skyline says “Learning is not always the key to success". This links to Blumler and Katz ‘personal identity’ by helping them find out more about themselves sometimes learning is not the only way they can be success, to pull them from thinking that learning is the key to everything. The masthead ‘SUCCUBUS’ is a female demon that comes into your dream, but in this case its school is feminine in French so I chose this heading and it sounded like ‘School bus’ plus school is full of dream not just good but also bad which could sway you into the wrong direction if you are too weak minded. The puff with the word girl in black with half the circle as white and boys in white and half the circle as black is to show the reader that both gender could read and not be offended by sexist, also its saying even thou a girl looks nice, pretty, sexy or very seductive they might not be nice in the inside where boy who looks rough, mean, weird or tough they might be good in the inside. This doesn’t mean all girl is bad but instead its trying to tell that don’t judge people from the outside, people would thinks that this is sexist but not this is what people would think right away when they are told to describe a boy or a girl, simply what would you think of a girl pretty, for boys probably strong, so its not being sexist.The tagline is just giving a chance for less popular kids to feel more important this is also called ‘personal identity’, this is telling that perfect don’t just come easily, but you have to make it. So she is giving tip. I use tip instead of help is because helping is like giving them a had and bring them through in your way not actually teaching them to be perfect in their own way, because being perfect is being just right for your self not just right for other.The tagline and masthead are in gold because they are the main things on the front cover. But the skyline are in grey because if you are depress you would be likely to like dark tone colour in stead of bright colour, this also means that the skyline would give them hope that if they are not good in learning they are still able to be success. Which link to Blumler and Katz ‘diversion’ and ‘personal identity’ for diversion it will helps them think that they are successful in they way they want to, and for personal identity it helps identify what they are looking for in life not what their parents are looking for them.
