Double Page Spread (Final Magazine)

This is the double page spread of my main magazine. The main image features a BMW i8 this is the in-depth review of the i8, which will answer the question and give information that the front cover is unable to give. The image is a wide shot that has been cropped so the main component is packed in one place, the sky is white which links it to the front cover and contents page this use of repetition is to give a more powerful impact to the reader. The car door is also open this give a impression that its open for anyone to drive, so it means the car is easy to drive, the open doors also cure for curiosity of people who are wondering how the door is open, and the reason the two doors are open is because it looks nicer. You can also see the women leaning on the door this show the feel of ownership that she owns the car and with her right hand on her waist this gives the impression that she is proud to have this car and this car helps improve her social status. The reason I kept the background is because this is to show how would look if its use as a daily basis mean of transport, how it stands out from the crowd. The mast head is slanted with gives an impression of speed and its there to like it with the front cover, the mast head “HYBRID SPEEDSTER” its in caps because it there to grab attention of the reader and to show the importance of it in that page, the first word “HYBRID” is in blue and in a simpler font this is because blue is the give the impression of a eco friendliness and the simple font is to show its smoothness and calmness of nature, and the word “SPEEDSTER” in in black and crooked that is because black symbolize power, dominance and confidence, and the reason that the text is crooked/shattered is because to show that its fast powerful which contrast with the first word. “Imperfection is the beginning of Perfection” this is sort of a motivation phrase this makes the reader feel that its alright to be imperfect if you never experience imperfection how can you know what perfection is.

The article is about the BMW i8 it gives the brief detail of the car and the reason it stands out from ordinary car, and also facts and figure with a speech from the owner of the car. On the bottom right corner you can see a small phrase from the owner to summarize his speech it, the word “Power” and ”Supercar” is in red because it symbolize power, strength, speed, fire etc.

The bottom left has the picture of the interior of the car taken with a wide lens to show the maximum component in a single shot this is to help reader imagine how would it be like if they are in the car (Blumler and Katz, Diversion)
