Research of magazine listings

First Ancillary Task: my research of magazine listings

This is a magazine listing I may use because I really like it's use of vibrant colour depicting each channel making it easier for the audience to find their chosen channel. Also, I think the 'Today's choice' at the left hand side works well being positioned at the start creating a lot of focus for the column. As well as loads of writing they use images making it more interesting and enticing to read as it breaks up the text. I do think the design is too clustered together making it hard to read, which is a negative of the listing layout.



This is a magazine listing I may use because I like it's is of colorful puffs as there is diverse shapes adding excitement and interest. The puffs are filled with bold titles and important information readers 'need to know', which is a creative way to use text rather than bland and regular sentences. I think it's by using a bold striking black box to outline and display popular films/tv shows is effective because it stands out from the light and neutral colour scheme. I think the use of blue works really well as it breaks up the neutral colours and text. Also, the cross referencing of colour with the black text on a white background vice versa looks really professional as it boldly contrasts from each other. I feel as though the overlapping of text over pictures and using diverse font sizes and styles creates a creative and unique look drawing the readers in more as it makes the listing enticing to read. I find the vibrant imagery contrasting with the monochrome text sections makes the imagery stand out more attracting more popularity and attention from the target audience.
