Dominant picture

Question is in bold and then the answer

Advertisement on the side

How is the layout effective The layout is effective because

although the image is big and placed in the centre, it does not take the whole attention.

The reader is able to see the writing around it as the background is white and very simple and easy on the eye.

The pink background on some text boxes give the convention and stereotype that this page is for woman

Style of font

The rest of the text is in black. It goes in contrast with the white background and makes it easy to read.

The numbers are big and are in pink this gives the reader a clear guidance of where to read next

Style of graphics and photo manipulation

The photo is in the middle and the text is going swiftly around. This makes it easy on the eye for the reader and does not cause too much distraction on the photo

They added in a picture of who the person is that is being interviewed. They placed this right before they added the interview in order for the audience to get a clear vision.

Organisation of information

• you are able to focus on the information however you are also able to clearly see the photo

•The information is divided into small paragraphs with numbers beside them, this guides the readers eyes.

•To show a different interview which is not relevant to the main one they have placed a pink background in order for the reader to know the difference.
