Codes and convention for adverts.

• Adverts appear to have a set colour scheme too them. They normally have 2 or 3 main colours which dominate the advert.

• They normally have a studio shot photo of the thing they are advertising.

• They also seems to have quite a lot of space on the page there is not too many things on the page. They are neatly set out.

• The biggest writing on the page is normally what the product is called. For example if there advertising a phone the name of the phone is be dominant on the page.

• They also have email addresses and social networking sites on the page.

• They normally have 1 main picture on the advert and that is it. (Sometime two if they take a picture of the same thing at a different angle)

From looking at the magazine adverts I wish to carry forward...

• A colour scheme with 2 or 3 main colours.

• A studio shot photo of the product I am advertising as this makes it look the best it can be. It also makes the product look professional.

• I will have a neat layout on the page without too much text or other things making the page look full. I will do this because it makes it clear what you are advertising because only the important things are on the page.

• I will have email address, and social media links near the bottom of my page as this makes it easy for people to look into the product more.

• The biggest font on the page will be the name of the product so it is clear what it being advertised.
