Graphics Research

(Graphics is looking at the colour, image, logo etc choices.  You want to show you understand how magazines etc use graphics to meet a specific audience and how this applies to your planning)

(Advertisement of a PDA)

The two main aspects that make this advertisement stand out is the blunt titles at the top and the pictures underneath these. I like the fact that even without a title and the banner at the bottom of the advertisement, you'd be able to see that the Palm is something to organise your life. And due to the banner at the bottom where it does actually say 'Organise your life with Palm' the advertisement gives you all the information that you need to know (RE-WORD TO SEEM SMARTER)
The advert uses orange to hightlight the most important words within this adverisement, catching the audiences attention, other than that, the advert is pretty simple.
Magazine advertisements need to stand out, this is why they use images and colour - because these are the first things our eyes are drawn to.

I have learned thast....... and I want to apply......... to my magazine advertisement
