When looking at reviews in Sight & Sound I found that the layouts were all very similar (click here to see my in depth Sight & Sound article review). They generally have just one photograph of the film (used to either introduce a new actor/actress, show a particular star who is featuring in the film, show a climatic point in the film or portray the genre) at either the top of bottom of the page, the film title in a simple bold font and underneath that the basic information about the film and then the review laid out in columns surrounded by the credits. Some reviews also include a synopsis in the bottom right hand corner. The colour scheme used for articles in the Sight & Sound magazine is red, white and black. Sight & Sound reviews are packed full of information and therefore I need to ensure that the layout is suitable to accommodate all of the text, I must ensure that the text is readable and easy to read.
Below I have draw up a guideline of the layout which I will follow to create my review page. As you can see I have stuck to the conventions of typical Sight & Sound articles.
