Visual Literacy:
The elements of visual literacy included in a magazine or poster include a range of colors and tones, along with their characteristics and link to themes and genres. Also involved is the relationship between the colors, titles, subtitles, fonts and text boxes based upon their identity. Some textures for example can give the page the illusion of different tactility and perspective. The dominant texts are very often the biggest and boldest text on the entire page, that makes the main identity of the page stand out toward the reader. The main aim of most magazine front covers and posters is to represent the intriguing or desirable image and lifestyle of this new film, or product, which gets you involved in the narrative world. The other technique that promotional products use are conventions that the consumer will recognize, and as part of this, other topics and products related through other media must be designed to be familiar, recognizable, pleasing and safe.
Design:Dont waste money, just tell the viewer what they need to know, simple and to the point. Instead of placing the subject or focus of the photo in the middle of the frame, possitioning it at a third from the left, right, top or bottom makes a more intresting shot. Make the picture equally balanced,by using all three sections, (in this example of layout) each having the same amount of freedom within the frame. Our conventional reading path goes from top left to bottom right, and therefore, props used in a photo; for example, (Barnardo's -Belive in children) the spoon and its virtual possitioning leads the eye down the page onto the eyes of a baby that are horizontaly possitioned, and then to the slogon. The last thing the eye sees is the Barnardo's logo at the bottom right of the frame. Constuction like this is vital in really captivativating the viewers first impression and view of an image, wheather it be a poster or a front cover layout of a journal.
White space (a.k.a negative space) space not used by other visual elements becomes a visual element itself. Most designers use white space as it stops an image looking overly busy or cluttered. It can also be used to emphasise an image making it seem more isolated.
Extra-diegetic gaze: the use of the extra-diegetic gaze, or breaking the 'fourth wall' is not particulary unique in media products and advertisement, and refers to the the gaze of the subject on the audience, regognising the audiences precense and therefore balancing a power relationship with the audience. Most extra-diegetic gazes in print advertising are either identification or admiration. Most are reinforcing thier core message through challenging conventional aethetics of print advertising.
