Final Magazine Review
My main inspiration for this layout was from Sight&Sound review section, however I felt that their article was more formal and just full of text whereas I wanted mine to be more colourful and bright, I wanted the article to stand out and so that just a glance will pull readers in. I really like that I used lots of screen grabs to really sell the short, the overall layout and has professional trates and makes the DPS looks realistic.

The article functions well in that it is stylistically interesting yet simply structured and easy to follow. The graphics that the editor chose to showcase moments of the film are accurate examples of the subject matter and the candid, montage style of the film. These photos also carry a lot of the cultural elements and the closeness of family that the film hinges upon. The pull-text pieces are useful for readers who prefer to skim rather than plunge into the meat of the article itself, but the perhaps the most important element, the title of the film itself and the name of its author, are a bit lost in the shuffle. I would suggest a much more prominent title, top and center, in order to cement the film title in the mind of the reader from the first glance.
Rating 5/5.

The film review article is really well formatted, and definitely looks like something one would find between magazine covers. The pull-quotes used perform their task quite well, drawing the attention of the reader and piquing their interest with small extracts. One bit that seems oddly used is the photo of a person enjoying their can of soda. It just seems that there could be something more fitting, without even needing to change the image subtitle. The actual text covers film in depth, and the author gives the readers a lovely description of the events and their meaning. Overall, a very well made article. Hats off to the author for an enjoyable retelling.
Rating 5/5.
