Double page spread!

Double page spread!

Colour Scheme:
I chose this colour scheme because it fits well with my chosen genre, rock music. The black background is often seen in rock magazines like Kerrang. The colour can symbolise the dark emotion found in rock songs. I also included the blue font as I thought I contrasted against the black nicely. Also it links the page to the cover page very well as blue was used as the colour scheme on that page.

Font:The font size I used for the main article was 11pt, this is the usual size in most magazines, I also used a plain font this makes it easy to read. I decided to make the questions and answers two different colours to split up the text a bit more. This attracts the readers in as it makes it easier to read and makes it easy for them to find a specific question they might want to know the answer to. 

I made the introduction paragraph go over two columns, it makes it look more professional and easy for readers who are knew to the band find out the main story of the article. This technique is also used in Kerrang magazine. 

For the pull quotes I made sure I selected the most interesting and grabbing parts of the article to attract the readers attention and make them want to read on. I made are article as I thought it looked a lot better that way when I was testing the different positions I could put these 

Columns:
Making the columns in indesign was really quick and simple to do. It was really simple to make them the same size as there was a template on the page. Making the columns the same size is important to do in magazines to make it look professional and neat, and I was able to copy and paste my article I had typed up in word very easily. 

More Changes!....




  1. I changed the layout of the text, I made it so the text was in a neat square this made a huge impact I thought to make it look more professional.
  2. I changed the colour of the questions to a brighter blue as my peers said they found it hard to read before so by making it brighter it helps a lot.

My Article!


Sanctum are new to the music industry however this hasn't stopped them from already winning an Grammy award for best rock album of the year! Ever since their album, unleashing chaos, was released they were racing their way to the top of the music industry. After a few months on tour with Fallon in the USA Sanctums finally back in the UK! And Mosh just had to catch up with lead vocalist and screamer Learna Gibbins. So here we are with the most talked about band this year…

Mosh: You’re quite new to the music industry. How has this whole experience been for you?
Learna: It’s been crazy! I never expected anything like this to happen to me, I had doubts about the band succeeding from the very beginning, its been a bit of a shock to all of us! I can’t explain how amazing this whole experience has been for all of us.

Mosh: Your album unleashing chaos is very dark and has very meaningful lyrics, did anything influence this choice?
Learna: Yes, It was made for one of my close friends at school. He was always a good kid until he started mixing with the wrong people and although he never admitted it at the time he was peer pressured into meeting their expectations. He started taking drugs and shortly got addicted to them leading him into crime. They started to steal and got involved with gangs until there was a shooting and he was arrested. I wanted to make this album to send out a message to everyone going through the same thing he did.

Mosh: So, we understand you had an accident while you were on tour, what happened?
Learna: Oh god (starts to laugh) I knew this would pop up at some point. It was while we were in New York the crowd there were amazing! So, I was drinking quite a lot around the time and started to act stupid and climbed up some scaffolding and slipped and ended up breaking a few ribs. I had to postpone a few gigs so I could recover; I was horrible having to let everyone down over my stupid actions. I’m certainly going to think twice before I do something like that again.  Nobody seems to let me forget about it.

Mosh: You mentioned you were drinking a lot around that time, care to explain?
Learna: Well, It was when we were first getting noticed by fans, the fame kind of got to my head. I started going out partying every night. At first it was harmless but I started to get addicted to drinking to the point I started to drink all throughout the day, every day. I was out of control and I was literally unleashing chaos! I started to treat everyone around me very bad, but luckily my fans, family and band members stuck by me the whole time and helped me recover. I have no idea where I would be now if it wasn't for them. I am so ashamed of how badly I behaved back then. I went against all my beliefs and the message I was trying to send out with the album, but I have been sober for six months now and I hope my fans will learn from my own mistakes. From now on my main aim is to become a better role model. Everyone makes mistakes but you learn from them and move on. 

Mosh: We are glad you’ve recovered now, what would be your advice to those going through the same thing you did?
Learna: I would say quitting drinking is really hard! Don't go through it on your own; tell your family or someone close to you, they can help you! Seeking professional advices helps a lot and most importantly have faith in yourself, anyone can do it with the right determination and if you really believe in yourself.
                                                                                                  
Mosh: We heard you’re working on a new album; will there be any surprises in store for us?
Learna: Well I don’t want to give away too much but we have tried experimenting with adding some different sounds like dubstep. We’ve been working with Skrillex a lot recently which has been a great experience, we are all glad with what we have accomplished so far.

Mosh: Other than the new album, what are your plans for the future? 
Learna: well... we have a single coming out next Thursday to give our fans a sneak peek of our album we are working on then we are going on tour with architects which I’m over the moon about!  I have been listening to them ever since I was a child and have influenced me starting my own band. We are hoping on doing a few festivals in the UK also so keep a look out!

Mosh: What other bands have influenced you besides Architects?
Learna: There are so many! I listen to loads of different bands and all have made me want to create my own music in different ways. If I had to choose the top band I would have to say Archenemy because if it wasn’t for Angela Gossow I would have never expected girls can scream and would have never tried it myself and the screaming plays a big part to our sound.

Mosh: At what age did you start making your own music?
Learna: I started to learn how to play instruments at quite a young age, around five years old I’d say. My dad was in a small band so he taught me to play guitar and piano. It wasn’t till I was fourteen years old I started to make my own songs. My dad would let me tour with him during my school holidays and it was around this time I decided I wanted to pursue it as a career. I didn’t get serious about my music until I left school and studied music in college, this is where I met my band members and started screaming.

Contents page


Contents page!

Editors Letter:I think its important that editors interact with their readers because it makes the magazine seem more friendly and welcoming. This is why I included a editors letter. The language I used was informal and chatty so the readers feel as if they are being spoken to directly. I used a simple text so it was easy to read and for the name I changed the font so it looks like it has been signed.

Banner:
It is important to sell as many magazines as possible which is why Mosh magazine try to gain as many subscribers as possible. By putting this in a banner it makes it stand out but also looks tidy and neat on the page

Image: I chose this photo because I liked the facial expression. I think his facial expression makes him look as if he's in deep though and distracted, this would make the target audience wonder about what he's thinking and therefore would want to read the article. Another reason I liked this photo is because when I edited it I could make the red in his shirt vibrant and I thought it would help set the colour theme as red suits the genre. The photo was also a perfect position and size to fit in the section wanted without making it look to crowded or empty.Editing the image:

1) The first thing I did to this photo was erase the background I did this in photo shop by using the magic wand tool then I refined the edge making it look smoother and more professional.
2) I then started playing around with the curves as I thought some of the photo looked to dark and the colours looked dull and I used the curves to make the colours look a lot brighter and I was pleased with the result and made the page colour scheme match this.
3) Thirdly I wanted to edit his eyes to make them look brighter cause eye contact in magazines can really draw readers in. I selected the colour balance tool to do this but had some difficulties as I couldn't get both eyes looking the same, One eye kept getting a random white part in it and this stood out and looked unnatural.



.


Overall I am quite proud of this page, It was much better than I was expecting it to come out as. I feel that it looks very professional. My favourite part about the page is probably the image, I thought the editing looked really good and I love the colours in the shirt against the leather jacket. Secondly I think the layout worked really well, its not to cluttered but not to empty either.

Cover page background!

Backgrounds! :(  







In this background I found a picture on the internet of burnt ripped paper then changed the colour on photoshop. This has been my favorite so I need to take my own photo soon and include it in :)









I didn't think this background worked so well and it didn't fit my colour scheme and the main image looked to big in comparison to the size of the room.

 



In this background we took a photo of a brick from the internet so we can use the texture of it then I changed the colour of it  to fit the colour scheme on photoshop but I didn't really like the outcome. It also when quite blurry as the photo I used was to small however when I took my own photo I might not have had that happen.




Although I like the look of this background I thought it was to bold to be used as it didn't make the main image stand out as much and lost its impact. I need to use a lighter background in order for the main image to draw the most attention and grab the target audience's interest.

Masthead!- Front Cover Page

My masthead!
For my masthead I named it Mosh. I thought this would be a good name as moshing is associated with my genre of music. Its also short and catchy so the readers will remember the name. The font I chose is
distressed this links with the genre of music and is very eye catching.

I included the issue number to the side of the masthead I thought this looked professional and unique. 

Positioning the masthead:My orignal idea to place the masthead behind the image like in magazines such as Kerrang but I wanted  to try different positions to see which one looks

Photo shoot and Main Image!

Aims:
For my photo shoot im planning on taking a close up photo of someone with good eye contact, as I think its most effective and draws the reader in. The clothes I want them to wear is dark colors to fit my genre of music. However I might make them wear something such as a hat or necklace to include some color without effecting the image. 

Contact Sheet!
This is my contact sheet from my photo shoot!

Thoughts on the Photo shoot!

My chosen photo: ----------------------->   
I chose this photo as it was exactly what I was looking for as the eye contact is good and the style fits with my genre of music very well. The hat she's wearing is also quite unusual and stands out which would draw potential readers in. However I think theres to much shadow in the face so I'll edit it on photo shop and also get rid of the back ground. 




Editing the Photo!


On photo shoot I edited the curves to try and make less shadow and make it lighter in some places, mostly around the face. By using curves it allowed me target specific places I needed so I could still keep the sections dark where I wanted them to like the dress and her eyeliner. This helps keep the 'rock' theme I'm looking for. However I think this has made the face look slightly red so i'll play around with the colour balance and put a small amount of blues in to even it out.
While I was changing the colour balence I jogged and added more blue than I needed but I thought it made it look for eye catching and now im planning on changing my original colour scheme to fit with it. I orignally wanted the colour scheme to be white, black and red, but now im making it dark blues instead of red.

I've also deleted the background using magic wand too and I smoothed out the edges so it looks a lot neater.

Contents page drafts and ideas

Draft 1

Notes on this draft:
  • I would make sure all the columns were the same size- This will make the page look more professional and would make it a lot easier for the readers to read. However I understand that with my chosen genre the style tends to be more cluttered which is why I have split it up into to halves. The top half will be for images and the layout will have two images overlapping each other to give this effect.
  • I defiantly wanted to include a editors comment section as I think its an effective way to connect with the readers. I will use informal, chatty language to make the readers feel as if I am talking directly to them.

5. Magazine Analysis

Cover Page Analysis

Main Imagethe main image they've chosen for this magazine represents their specified genre of music very well as the clothing Rob Zombie’s wearing is very Gothic as its all very dark colours and the leather jacket this shows that the majority of the magazine would most likely be about heavy metal.
The facial expression on Rob Zombies face is quite aggressive with could symbolise that the magazine is heavy metal as most people link those characteristics to this particular genre of music.The lighting on Rob Zombies face is quite dark especially around his eyes this could imply that he might be hiding a secret that he might reveal in his article which would then influence the readers to read on and find out 



Masthead
The masthead is positioned behind the main images head this could imply that it’s a well-known, and can be recognized by the font being used. The way they've positioned the word metal (going up the side of the H) makes it look more unique.
The colour they've chosen for the masthead is quite an aggressive colour which then fits well to the theme of the cover page as Rob Zombies facial expression and the genre of music.

 Main Headline
The main headline they've chosen is about Rob Zombie which they've positioned at the top of the page in almost the same font size as the masthead. This makes it stand out and clear to readers what the main story is. This font they've used looks  as if its dripping and looks like the font used in old horror films. I think they did this intentionally to fit with the Robs last name Zombie. 

Contents Page Analysis!
(couldn't get a photo as my copy had been drawn on)

Colour theme:
The colour theme for the contents page matched the colour of their logo so in this case red. This is a good way of linking the two pages together. The colour red also links with their chosen genre, heavy metal, as most people think red implies aggressiveness which is also the impression heavy metal music gives off. The background colour supports the idea of the colour scheme to symbolise the genre as its grey with an added effect to make it look like real metal.

Layout:
The layout on this contents page was set into two main columns, both the same size to make it look more professional and easier to read. In these columns they've headlined them features and regulars, this gives off the impression that costumers buy the magazine regularly so they understand what sort of things they include each week. This will look good for new costumers as they will think that the magazine is popular and worth buying as it must be good in order for costumers to buy it regularly. On the right hand side there is a separate column for the editors letter. This makes the readers feel that the editor wants a close connection with their readers and want to involve them in the magazine and update them with everything going on , the language they've used is informal and chatty. This makes the readers feel like they're talking directly to them in the same way they would to their friends.

Images:The images on this page are arranged on the right hand side in a block. The images are slightly overlapping each other, because of this technique it makes you look at the picture in order, it makes you look at the top image first then work your way down. By having all the images close together it makes the music they're representing seem more angry as most are dark images and positioned in a group.  On this images are the page numbers this makes the page look more interesting and breaks up the text rather than having to list down all the main articles. They've made the page numbers in order of when you look at each image. In other words the further down the page you look the further into the magazine the article is.
All of the images in this page are quite dark and the connotations given off reflects on the genre of music the magazine focus' on as its aggressive and seems almost dangerous . The images they've used are all of famous bands so the target audience automatically responds to this.


Double Page Spread:

Colour Scheme:
The colour scheme for this double page spread is quite dark and after reading the article I decided fits very well as the article talks about the struggles this band, Motorhead, had to tackle with.  This fits with the connotations of black such as depression, death and mystery. 

Image:
I think the image they’ve chosen represents the article extremely well due to the colour and editing. In the photo they’ve made the section around the jack Daniels bottles creating the illusion of being drunk. This then links with the article as he discusses about drinking. By editing the colour so it’s grey also reflects on the idea of it being in the past and how it was a struggle back then. As the connotations of grey suggests anxiety and fear. The fact he’s smoking in the photo could suggest he’s under a lot of stress which would influence readers to read the article and find out why. 
Unlike in most images we don’t have direct eye contact however we see his whole face in the mirror, this may suggest that he is hiding something that he might reveal in the article. This angle could also represent the genre of music as it makes him look dangerous and dark.

4. Magazine Analysis

Cover Page Analysis:

Posters:
Adding the extra posters influences buyers as it gives them something they can keep and use. The small previews of the posters show that they’re fairly rare photo shoots because they’re specifically designed for Halloween. The way they've positioned them makes the layout interesting as they’re crooked. The words they've used also impacts the Halloween theme by using the word ‘Spooktacular’ and placing it on a pumpkin

Masthead:
The masthead has been positioned in its usual place at the top and behind the main images head. They've used the same font as usual so it’s easily recognised.

Main Image:
The main image they've chosen for this front page shows that it’s a special edition to a usual one as its Halloween themed. This would influence readers to buy it as it would include special extras such as the posters. The picture they've chosen also links to their chosen music genre as the facial expression on Matt Tuckers face is slightly aggressive and looks like he’s shouting and being loud like the music

Colour Theme:
The colour theme for this issue was based around the Halloween theme therefore the colours they’ve chosen are red, black and orange. This helps sell the magazine as the time it was being sold most people would be shopping for Halloween items and those are the colours they’d be looking out for and would stand out to them.








Contents Page Analysis


Image:
The image on this page is based around the Halloween theme so they've made the image more simple to take the attention of the well-known band down to try and make the pumpkin the main focus. In order to do this they've dressed the band members in neutral, boring colours. Then chose a simple light background. The lighting of this image is really bright which is quite un-usual in a rock magazine but in this case it was effective as it contrasted again the pumpkin making it stand out more. This image also draws the readers in as each band member has direct eye contact.
Each band member has a different facial expression . This could have been done intentionally to show their own personalities this could make the readers want to find out more about the band and find out what they’re like.
In this magazine issue they've focused on a Halloween theme. They’ve managed to approach this by their choice of colour and images. For example in their main image on this page they've placed a pumpkin almost in the centre on the page, so this is one of the first things you see on the page as it contrasts against the dull colours the members of the band are wearing. The picture of the pumpkin makes the contents page has a strong link to the cover page. They've taken the pumpkin idea further on this page by making the colour scheme the same. They've used the orange on the main headlines with a black background behind it to make it stand out more and seem darker to fit the ‘scary’ theme.
Another way they’ve made this page Halloween themed and link with the cover page is the header background. The background looks like dripping blood; they used the same thing on the cover page. This then helps keep the theme flowing throughout the whole magazine which makes it look more professional 


 Editors message:
In this magazine they always include an editor’s message on the bottom left hand corner. I think this is good to have as it makes the readers feel that the editor wants a personal connection with them. The language he uses is informal and chatty which magnifies the idea of a personal connection as this technique makes it feel as if you are being spoken directly to as if you were a friend. This may influence the target audience to buy the magazine more as they feel like they are being treated individually and not just another costumer.

Theme:
In this magazine issue they’ve focused on a Halloween theme. They’ve managed to approach this by their choice of colour and images. For example in their main image on this page they’ve placed a pumpkin almost in the centre on the page, so this is one of the first things you see on the page as it contrasts against the dull colours the members of the band are wearing. The picture of the pumpkin makes the contents page has a strong link to the cover page. They’ve taken the pumpkin idea further on this page by making the colour scheme the same. They’ve used the orange on the main headlines with a black background behind it to make it stand out more and seem darker to fit the ‘scary’ theme.
Another way they’ve made this page Halloween themed and link with the cover page is the header background. The background looks like dripping blood; they used the same thing on the cover page. This then helps keep the theme flowing throughout the whole magazine which makes it look more professional 



Double Page Spread:

Image:
The image being used in this double page spread is effective as it interprets the genre and target audience as they’ve chosen to show the tattoos by taking of the top. The choice of lighting empathises this also because by making it very light the black tattoos contrasts against its causing it to stand out more. Young Guns are also a popular band among the genre so the target audience automatically recognises who it is increasing their interest The eye contact in this image is very strong as his eyes are positioned where your eyes fall on the page. Also his eyes are very bright and as there is very little colour on this double page spread it stands out and grabs the reader’s attention.
This image is very affective at tying the two pages together as the positioning of the photo over laps the two pages.

3. Magazine Analysis


Cover Page Analysis

Masthead
The masthead in this issue is big and bold; they put it at the top of the page which is the most focal point of the cover. NME uses the same font and colour for every issue and therefore is easily recognised, also by using the colour red and the large capital font makes it easy to see from afar and ties the colour scheme together making it look more professional


Colour Scheme
The colour scheme the have used for this magazine is mostly black, white and red. Using the colours white and black makes the magazine look more professional and the red could symbolise their passion for music

Barcode/ Price
The barcode on the front page makes it look more professional and realistic and makes it look more complete. The price is shown In small print beside it, this helps the reader  read all the good features about the magazine and whether or not they want to buy the magazine and weigh up how much they think it’s worth before seeing the actual selling price.

Main Image
The main image they’ve used is very effective as it draws readers in by making ‘mike skinner’ have direct eye contact in the photo and they’ve then place the image where your eyes  fall on the page. The facial expression on Mike’s face is quite serious which could indicate that the article could be about a serious matter which the readers will find entertaining or that the article itself was taken seriously and that you can trust that everything written is truthful and you can believe it to be true.

Images
Including more images makes the readers wonder what they’re about making them want to read on. The smaller images they’ve used on this particular issue is some examples of free posters inside, this makes the reader feel as if they are gaining more for their money. By positioning the images slanted and overlapping one another it makes it look more interesting 

Contents Page Analysis

Layout
The layout for NME’s contents page is very simple which makes it quick and easy for readers to find that particular page they need. They’ve highlighted the headlining stories by including images and putting
 the page number in big, bold red writing with a white background in the corners.  Including images also help break up the writing so it doesn't look over crowded and that would lose the reader’s attention.
QuotesOn this page they’ve included an interesting quote from the article. This quote was chosen carefully to grab the reader’s attention as it is slightly bizarre and would influence the reader to read and find out the story behind it. Another reason the quote draws in readers is by using making the font size larger making it stand out and by using italics. This technique is effective as it implies it’s been spoken and empathises how unusual it is.
Headline
The headline in this issue is different to most magazines as they haven’t used the traditional ‘contents page’ this makes the page more interesting. It’s also similar style to a newspaper by the use of font and choice of words such as ‘this week’ this implies that all there articles are up to date and it the latest news. Adding the date underneath also strengthens this idea, and also supports the idea of it being the latest news.

Double Page Spread Analysis

Layout
The layout of the magazine is pretty simple. The text is set out in five columns this makes it easy for the readers to read as its more spaced out and not cluttered which would put them of reading. The font they’ve used is clear to read and looks professional this can make the readers feel that what their reading was taken seriously and can believe what their reading is truthful, this would influence them to buy the magazine more often. In this article they’ve also added extra slightly relevant information in boxes which has a different background colour this then makes it clear that its not a part of the main story. The font been used in these is also different.

Quotes
In this article they’ve highlighted carefully chosen quotes. The quotes they’ve chosen grab the reader’s attention as they give some sort of indication of what the article is about but without giving it completely away so it makes the readers wonder and influences them to read on.

Main Image
The main image of this article is positioned to go over both of the pages, this helps tie the double page spread together.

2. Magazine Analysis



Cover Page Analysis



Main Image   In this magazine the main image they used is lead vocalist 'Gus Wood' from the rock band Young Guns Has mentioned in bold, big writing positioned over the top. This could be because the band is quite well known and popular this would appeal to fans of theirs. However from the photo they have chosen it could grab anyone who is interested in that genre of music as they have chosen a picture where you can see the vocalists tattoos as it fits with that stereotype. Gus Woods facial expression could also draw the readers attention as his eyes are positioned where your eyes fall on the page giving direct eye contact, and the serious, focused look he is pulling would make the readers curious as to why and would influence them to read the article. 


Header                                                          The header on this magazine shows a few little extras included in the magazine such as the posters making the reader feel as if they're gaining more from buying the magazine. The posters they have selected are of popular bands so the majority of people into this genre of music would most likely want these. The colour they selected to go behind the words is a bright yellow to made it eye catching and contrasts against the red. They also made the 7 a darker bolder colour and made the font size larger, this empathises the idea of there being a large amount of posters inside. 

Masthead   The masthead on this front cover is positioned behind the main pictures head, as it is a well known magazine and can be recognised by its own font. The font they use links with the magazine very well as it rough around the edges and fits with the 'rock' element of the magazine. Another way the masthead links is the actual name itself as its an onomatopoeia, kerrang sounds like the strumming coming from a guitar and therefore has the musical aspect of it.

Layout  The layout for Kerrang magazine tends to be the same for most issues, this makes it more easier and convenient for their regular readers as all the subheadings are usually in the same place. This page is split up into columns this makes it a lot easier to read but still have a fair amount of information on the page without it looking to crammed, they've also used different sized images and  a mixed range of style and size of font which would help grab the readers attention and keep entertained. The majority of the page is taken up by a competition, this stands out. 

Contents Page Analysis

Language  The language used is informal and quite 'chatty', for example at the bottom right hand corner the editors has written two columns just talking to the readers about what to expect. The use of informal language makes it seem more friendly and engages the readers more.

Colour Scheme and Images   The colour scheme for this page is mostly red, yellow and black with a white background. The white background contrasts against the big image on the left hand side this makes it stand out more and makes it the first thing the readers will look at.







Double Page Spread:

Image:The image being used in this double page spread is effective as it interprets the genre and target audience as they’ve chosen to show the tattoos by taking of the top. The choice of lighting empathises this also because by making it very light the black tattoos contrasts against its causing it to stand out more. Young Guns are also a popular band among the genre so the target audience automatically recognises who it is increasing their interest The eye contact in this image is very strong as his eyes are positioned where your eyes fall on the page. Also his eyes are very bright and as there is very little colour on this double page spread it stands out and grabs the reader’s attention.
This image is very affective at tying the two pages together as the positioning of the photo over laps the two pages.

1. Magazine Analysis

Cover Page Analysis
(I didn't have enough music magazines)      

Main Image
For this issue they used an image from Halo 4 which is a new popular game coming out so this will influence their target audience to buy it as they would want to get the most information as they can about the game before it comes out. This particular image they've chosen is very good quality which will grab the readers attention and also implies the game will have really good graphics so the readers might want to read about it more. They made the picture cover the whole front page which magnifies the idea of the 10 page exclusive about the game.     

Masthead 
The masthead '360 Gamer' is positioned behind the main image this implies that the name of the magazine is well known is wouldn't be effected if its slightly hidden, they also always use the same font for it so it could be recognised for that reason alone. The colours they've chosen contrasts against the background which make it stand out. The title they've chosen is very straight forward so the readers know that the magazine is about xbox 360 gaming straight away. 

Contents Page Analysis

Layout   The layout for the contents page in this magazine is spread across two pages this then influences the idea of the magazine being big and packed full with information making the reader feel they've made a good buy. They've split the writing into columns which makes it easy for the reader to read. It is also split into categories and the titles of each category is written in a larger sized font and a bright colour behind it to contrast against the white to make it stand out. For the main stories they've selected relevant images and put the page number in the bottom left hand corner this breaks up the writing more making the page more attractive to look at and draws the readers in.

Double Page Analysis

Layout     The layout of this double page spread has neat boxed images across both pages all different sizes these grab the readers attention. Every picture is relevant to the article and on some there is a sentence or two describing what is happening in the picture. The font used for the descriptions is different to the main font used in the article and also a different size to make it clear to the readers that is it separate information.
