Film page Analysis

Front cover

This film page uses a range of different type in get the reader attention. Firstly with the title, it uses San-Serif text to look more round and easy to read while still making it stand out. The words, 'Total' and 'Film' and both in upper case letters and the all of the letters hit the top and the bottom of the point size meaning that none of the letters Descend or Ascend the X-height.

No ligature is used on the front of the magazine, this is probably because ligature is used to make things easier to read but because the text is very large there is not need for this. The, 'pugs' all include the serif writing style this may have been used to make the, 'pugs' look more high class and professional showing the audience that they should take the magazine seriously. A different font is also used for the, 'pugs' and the heading, this is probably because the picture on the front cover is a character wearing quite an elegant choice of clothing and the text needs to fit with the picture to compliment it!

Double page spread

All the text used here does not feature any sort of Ligature, this maybe because the tracking used on the text is very wide spread so it easier to read. The Leading used is also very wide spread and all of the text is bold again making it very easy to read. Serif is also not present here because all of the letters have a very low Kern and if Serif was to be used it would look clustered and unreadable. A wide range of lower and upper case letters are used here, the upper case letters have been used at the start of sentence and are used for product names, the lower case letters have been used everywhere else. Italic is also used when quoting someone. Overall the text is very easy to read because of the wide amount of room it gives you between sentences and different lines, this magazine could have been available on a tablet or a phone. The wide amount of space allows the user to quickly and easily highlight some text using their phone this would make sense for why the everything is set up as it is. The spaces between the letters are kept the same so the person not reading the article on a tablet or phone can read like they usually do.
