1. Q Magazine.
This magazine has margins, you can see
this because there is framework on the
right hand page leaving space inbetween
text.
The layout of this page has been set in to
specific placements, but what throws you
is the fact that there is a big ‘S’ taking up
most of the page, white contributes so
making the magazine look quirky and
slightly unorganized.
This magazine is just a double page
spread. The text is only on one side of the
page and the imagery bleeds on to the
gutter of the other side.
The standard portrait orientation has
been used, this is the most common style
in media.
The text that has been used for this magazine

see the flicks that appear at the end of the

audience, which this kind of font
represents. Though what they are

this magazine because of the big Drop
capital ‘S’ taking up most of the space
leaving no room for text.
2. Marc Jacobs magazine.
Margins have been used in this article to avoid
putting key pieces of writing inside. It’s also
created a frame around the edge of the
magazine.
Grids have been used in this magazine for the text
and a few of the images, it looks as if the images
have been put in line with the text, this makes the
magazine look more organized.
Columns of text have been used this is also done
using the grid system, this creates a more formal
look.
This magazine spreads, it goes across more than one
page, this isn’t something that happens often in
magazines, so this is rare for this magazine.
This is the only header/headline for this magazine,
at first when you look at the page you don’t really
notice it because of how fine it is and with all
different colours being used.
The images of the rabbits on this page have been
cut out and placed on to the magazine copy, you
can tell this because the images wouldn’t just be
drawn on to normal paper, normally they would use
squared drawing paper to get their dimensions
right.
A strap line has been used on this magazine to give
more information about what the article is going to
be about, this informs the reader a bit more what
the article is about before they get in to reading it.
The gaps in between the sentences are
Around the same sizes as the little text on
Slide one, this may be because they have a
Lot to write about, or because they want their
text to look in depth. Though this may put some
readers off.
