Double page spread : Research and development

 This is my research and development on double page spread magazine.

Before Reading
Magazine:Vogue
Issue:September 11, 2023
Publisher:Vogue
Genre:The genre is fashion
Images:1 big image (the entire page), The image shows a close up
picture of a the girl's face.
Layoutthe layout of the text is column in 3 rows , there are lots of empty
space in the bottom of the magazine (for the title) which makes
 the magazine looks messy.
First impressions:I find that the magazine looks okay but isn't so eye catching
because the text and images don't really work together so it
looks kind of boring and uninteresting. I don't like that it looks
too simple and the half page is filled with just texts which gives
the impression of the magazine being so informative and serious.
After Reading
Heading:"sensitivity training"
Subheading:no subheading
Author:There is no byline, but a photographer is mentioned which is
Stefan Ruiz
Article:This article is talking about skin sensitivity within women because of the overuse of strong products that instead of helping our skin, ruins our skin instead.
Mode of address:It is not directly addressed to us but the article addresses us as readers because they don't use words like "you" so the magazine is in a more formal style.
Pull Quote:There is a pull quote which is used to talk about products for skin. It's probably used to catch the audiences attention more because audience will focuses on that more since the writing is bigger.
Audience:Audience that is targeted is those who are interested in skincare, they are targeted by the full page picture and title which talks about skincare and self care.
Impression:The magazine was okay but kind of boring since it's not really colourful and the theme is really monochrome.
Inspiration:I learned that the usage of pictures in magazine plays a very important learn. It is important to add pictures which is not only one so that the audience don't get bored and also to make sure the colours are eye catching and interesting to attract the audiences attention.
Before Reading
Magazine:Vogue
Issue:Date of Issue/ Issue No: 2022
Publisher:Vogue
Genre:The genre is fashion
Images:1 big image (the entire page), The image shows a long shot of
6 different models in various clothes (similar style)
Layoutthe layout of the text is column in 2 rows , which looks neat and
less messy but not so formal too.
First impressions:Looks really eye catching because of the images used and the
heading standing out.
After Reading
Heading:"odes to life"
Subheading:"A symbol at the heart of ukrainian artist....." it's a very long subheading
Author:Is there a byline? There is no byline, but a photographer is mentioned
Article:What is the article about? What is the message? The article is about the creating process of dior and what materials are used in the process.
Mode of address:Does it address the audience directly (you, your etc). Is the writing style formal/informal, friendly/serious. The writing style is more informal which is shown from the fonts that are used.
Pull Quote:Does it include a pull quote? What does it say? Why has it been used? There is no pull quote included in this magazine.
Audience:Who is the audience for this magazine? How were they targeted? Anyone who is interested in fashion designing and about the process of fashion designing.
Impression:What did you think of the article? Was it fun, interesting, boring? Why? Pretty bring since it is just about the process and not apllicable in real life
Inspiration:What did you learn? How can you apply it to your own magazine design? I learned that the fonts can really make a magazine look differen, im only going to apply some of the layouts because it really looks nice

The double spread research and development help me get a in depth about the double page spread
