Analysis of existing magazines' DOUBLE PAGE 2

This is a double page spread of the films Avatar made my Empire this double page spread uses lots of conventions for example the double page spread contains a masthead in the middle of the left hand side page, this is used to advertise the film, and it also is used by Empire magazine to tell the readers of the magazine what the article is about, in this case the article is about the the film Avatar.

Another  convention that is used in the article in Empire magazine would be that the text is written in columns, the fact that the text is written in columns makes it easier for the readers of the magazine to actually read the article, and it also make the article look professional. The double page spread contains one main image that helps to show the readers of the magazine the characters that are in the new film, and what to expect from the film as well. There is also a selection stills from the movie and they help to give an idea to the audience what the film is actually about and gives a sense of the plot of the movie. 

The text is written in white which helps the reader of the text to stand out from the dark background that Empire has chosen to use in this article. The colour of the text also makes it easier to read and means that it is quicker for the reader of the magazine to get the information they want from the article quickly. There is also a text box on the right hand page, this text box contains facts about the film, This text box has a orange background that stands out from the rest of the magazine double page spread.
