NA6: Layout Conventions for Both Products



Despite this newspaper advert and this channel listings article being two very different forms of advertising materials both of them feature a lot of common layout features. The main similarities that these two adverts/articles have are: 

  • Both pieces of work have been based around the main image.
  • Both use text over their main image as if they didn't they would be wasting space that they can use for other features.
  • Both feature medium shots of their star vehicle/s as their main image which helps to show off the attire that they are wearing.
  • Both have laid out their title three quarters of the way down their main image. If they hadn't have done this then it might have not looked as effective.
As they are two very different pieces of work, then there are features that one will have included which the other has not. These include
  • Secondary images that help big up and support the main image.
  • Even proportions between text and imagery which gives across the point that the layout is very well planned out and that everything is not just thrown about everywhere. 
  • Large subtitles over the main image to give an extra insight on what you are about to be reading. 
  • Large titles of the release date of the tv show/film.
  • Critic ratings to give the audience an impression of how good the film/ tv programme is that they are about to go out and watch. 
  • Quotes from critics.
