Weather Report

In this task, I made a weather report analysing a double page spread from Q magazine. I did this task as a way of understanding how the conventions of magazines helps to attract their target audience and ensure that the content stands out and appeals. I aimed to understand what goes into making a double page spread and what I should include/exclude from it. I also needed to gain a greater understanding of the type of language used in a typical article relative to the target audience it is aimed at.

This task has helped me for when I come to create my own magazine double page spread because I now have a better understanding of how I can lay out the text and picture in such a way that is attractive to my target audience. The task has also helped me to understand brand identity and how I can continue a brand's presence throughout the magazine e.g. with the use of a repeated colour scheme/font. It has also helped me to understand how I can incorporate other forms of media in a double page spread e.g. with the links to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at the bottom of the page.
