Page Layout analysis

On this magazine layout the there is very little text which is placed at the top left of the first page and also a large title at the bottom of the page with a quote under it, and the remaining spaces on the pages are taken up by images, as the entire second page is taken up by the images, the thing that stands out the most is the title as it is filled in with the imagery so it works in with the images and is attractive as the images, the type that has been used for the font is bold and very simple which I think is more effective as it reflects the page because the whole page it's self is very simple and the amount of writing is kept to a minimum, whereas the other magazine spread contains mainly writing, but still uses a bold and simple type face so this could also suggest that it is a sophisticated article.

There is use of a colour scheme of black, white and the colours in the photo which I think adds to the simple but effective look to the article, the text is in black against a white background which I think makes the photo's stand out in the article the most as they are very colourful and attract the most attention, also the title looks as if it is a cut out of the photo, so it has the same colour scheme as the actual photo so it equally draws as much attention, the photo's used are directly to do with the article, because its about skateboarding.

The typography in this article is tiny compared to the images used, as it is placed directly next to the images so it gives a small insight into what the image is for/about, the impact of using large images with small typography is that it suggest that the subject is more of a practical experience rather than something you would read about, as the article is to do with skateboarding.

On this page layout text wrapping is used around the image of the building on the first page, and its as if the text has had to make space for this image which shows that it is the one of the main subject of the article, the images in the article 
are mainly kept to the top or the edges of the page with the large amounts of text placed besides the and more to the middle of the page, which is very different to the other article's layout as in the other article the images seem to overpower the amount of text, although in both articles a simple and bold font has been used to create a simple look, however the simplicity of the font for this article has been used to represent formality and sophistication.

In terms of scale the images and text take up around the same amount of space on the page because most of the images take up about half a page, and the text fits around it which takes up another half of the page, which draws and equal amount of attention to both the text and images.

On the page photo's have been used in relation to the article, the colours of the text have been kept simple by using just black and white which works in with the sophistication of the article and will appeal to the target audience.
