Ancillary post:

So, for our double page spread and news paper advertisement, i've gone off and done some research, and i've found some handy sites that i can learn from. Here are are few examples of double page spreads. (This post is a continuation from this one.)

Double Page Spread Analysis

--So from looking at this presentation, it seems that for a double page spread there are limited colour schemes, quite simple, fashionable and effective. The layouts are very open, they're not clustered like, the front page of a magazine lets say, and it makes it easier to read and nicer to look at. The pictures get to the point, they have to be large to call out to the reader.

(note to self: good website to upload my first individual presentation onto and post to blogger.)

-Here we can see that the graphics, just like the first slide i sound above, match the mood of the pictures.

-What i especially like are the blown up quotes, thats a good quick insight into what the article actually talks about. The pictures are the primary source for getting the readers attention, then the title/subtitles, then the bold quotes, much like the pyramid style of writing journalists use to get readers to keep reading.
