Review of InDesign- Frankie and Ella

We previously posted a template that we created whilst we learnt the functions of 'In Design'. For our review we will use this template so that it represents itself to look like a 'Little White Lies' review.
This is the template we will be following with the correct measurements and correct fonts.



Above is a print screen of how our actual review will be presented and to the right is an image of a review written by Little White Lies. On the main review page they are always the same, with the same font and template all the way down to font size, dimensions and alignment.
The magazine uses a Tripartite ranking system, The categories; Anticipation, Enjoyment and In Retrospect, these are all marked out of 5 and accompanied by explanatory text. We will be asking our peers to mark our film out of those categories, to come from a non biast angle.

From the example of the Brighton Rock addition we will be reviewing the layout.

  • Firstly the picture is a screen shot taken from the film that is being reviewed, like most of the layout this is consistent in each review. 
  • Secondly the title of the film, ' Brighton Rocks' in this case, is centered and in bold, Below the title are the directors and the main actors that featured in the film.
  • Thirdly is the copy. To start the copy each addition has a capital letter, in bold that is usually 3 lines deep, this gives a professional appearance to fit its target audience. The review itself is around 500-550 word long and is split into 3 columns the third ending half way down.
  • Lastly the rating system, marked out of five,this is to give the audience an idea of what the film is like from LWLies perspective. 
Another component i found intriguing was the digital issue of Brighton Rocks. Similar to the printed addition the same print screen is used, the ratings are still featured, the only difference is the layout of the copy.
