New Double Page Spread

New Magazine

The page contains a combination of five different pictures - 1 large and 4 small, the pictures are from different days and give small insights into the story and the event that is being documented. If i was to follow this code in my production piece then my photos need to vary from different times across the day and show the different styles the day contained.

Each photo on the page contains a box containing a brief discription about where and when it was taken and who it contains. Linking this to my production piece i can use this type of format to describe the outfits of the guests and also include a similiar style box containing the opinions of the fashion critiques. This way the production piece is following the style of new magazine.
This magazine also uses twitter tweets to add evidence and support to their article, instead of just re typing the tweet onto the page or including in the written article they have cropped the actuall tweet from the site. This not only shows that its a true tweet but it makes the production peice look better researched and evidentual.

The large photo takes up the majority of the right hand side of the page, leaving less room for the article but also indicating quite clearly who the production is about. In relation to my piece i can use a larger photo with quotes to show the reader that the piece is about the royal wedding.

The colour scheme is in keeping with the photo's, Rhianna is wearing a bright pink dress and therefore the theme to the page is the same shade of hot pink. This ties together all the extra photos and the additional peices of information. If i was following this way of design it would involve me picking a colour theme in keeping with the royal wedding and ensuring that its stuck to with all the extra box's and side storys.

The article is continuous providing an explanation of the events and not telling a story. Speaks of the main features and then brings together all the photo's so each piece of evidence is relevent to the page.
Headline is straight to the point, refers to the main photo of the page- this hooks the reader as they can see it being backed up as soon as they have read it.
As the article is trying to show Rhianna in a bad light its including all the bad issue's from her past linking them together with all the bad behaviour she has been doing. This means that the production is trying ti justify its story with past evidence using it to support their new production.
