The 'Film Choice' pages of the listings magazine TV Choice are separated into days listing films on various channels on each day. The days are also separated by different colours; this allows the reader to easily distinguish between the days. I like how not all the sections are the same size but are placed carefully to fit to the pages.
The background to the double-page spread is bright blue and is a good contrast to the other colours on the page.There are images taken from some of the films featured, these are used to illustrate the page and provide a break from the text. The images are a fair size, they aren’t too big so they don’t take over from the writing but they are big enough to grab attention, they attract and interest the readers.
There is a small paragraph about each film featured including information such as the actors, the country where it was produced, the director, the year it was produced, and the film's certification. It has all the information a viewer could want about the film, obviously including the day and time it's on, it also provides a small synopsis/brief review of the film in a mainly informal style.
Also, there is a five-star rating of each film and a there is a tick placed next to the film's title if the film is suitable for family viewing. The key to this system is found at the bottom of the page. This is a clever system which is positively usable for families with younger children. The titles of the films themselves are in bold and white standing out from the colour block, making them clear and easily locatable for the reader.
