Main Image – The image is a medium close up of the character from the
TV series Vampire Diaries. The location of
where the picture is taken is based on where the TV series is set. The character is positioned to the left hand side of
the frame so that the text can be positioned
alongside of it. The character is also looking directly at the camera,
which involves the audience. The way in
which he is dressed is in a casual way with his
sleeves rolled up which suggests he may be a
hard worker. His buttons on his top are undone. This connotes that he
provides some sex appeal to the series, which is targeting a
female audience. The image takes up the left had side of the double
page spread, which makes it the main focus. It will also relate to the
article on the right hand side of the page, which
follows the typical codes and conventions of a double spread page.

white so it’s a contrast to the dark and dull background, which makes it more appealing.
