Headlines: located on the left side of the page, these are used
to direct the audience to a certain article/page that they are
specifically looking for. This specific magazine has 3 contents
pages, this provides a more sophisticated aspect to the
magazine. The text is written in quite a small font, some are
bigger and bolder than others, this shows there importance/a
new page or article. There is a little description of what the
page installs, its very brief but descriptive so the reader feels
persuaded to read the article. Some of the text is placed over
the main image, however this doesnt draw any attention
away from this because its written in small lettering. The text
is spaced out so it doesnt cover the mans wrists, this is
because the font will be unseen do to the light colour on his
jewellery.
Main image: this contents page has many images on it, but the
main image is clearly indicated by its size which overwhelms
the other photos and makes it the most important and eye
catching. The image is a medium wide angled shot, this allows
the audience to see the artists playing the drums, some of the
lighting from the stage lights and even some of the crowd. This
creates a thought about the atmosphere about actually being
at the concert. The artists isnt facing the camera yet still invites
the viewer in by his head being turned slightly to the left. The
black and white effects make it seem old. The main image has a
clear link to the big bold lettering which I believe its part of the
headlines as the masthead is located in the top left; the main
image and the headline clearly link as it says drummer which is
what a drum playing is called in a band, and there is a person
on the stage with a drum kit so this clearly indicates he is the
drummer.
Additional images: amongst the main image there a five extra
images which a link in with the headlines as they a
accompanied with a number in the top left. These images are
there so the audience can view the image and recognise the
artist in the picture and they will know what page to find the
article they are on. These are not accompanied with text, this is
probably because the artists are well know and dont need an
introduction. Rather than fill the page with text and make it
seem compact and over loaded with information the images
provide organisation to the page.
Main image: the main image is dedicated a whole page for itself, this is an indication that this is the most important aspect to the page
and also the main focus. Hes looking direct at the camera, this make the audience feel more involved in the article like hes actually
looking and talking to them. The image actually follows the colour scheme of the page, especially with the WK on the right hand side,
the black background is the same as the W and the yellow hat is the same as the Y. furthermore the smoke is the same a the white
background on the right side of the page. This has been done in order to make sure the audience unconsciously link the two pages
together. I believe the smoke makes the main image look mysterious as the colour connotes mystery and generally innocent, however,
the fact that it is smoke detracts the thought of the artists being innocent as smoke conveys bad health and usually associated with
young people, especially when smoking drugs. The look on his face seems to be serious, this indicates that he is quite serious with his
music, furthermore, it makes him seem like hes got a smug attitude and he doesnt care what people have to say about him . His hat is
a snapback with the letter P on it. This P symbolizes the artists home city; Pittsburgh.
Layout: the double page spread is usually
one of the most exclusive
interviews/articles in the magazine, this
is why its dedicated a double page. This
specific one has a picture taking up the
whole page and text on the other, this
makes it seem like its almost a portfolio
on the artist. On the right hand side of
the page most the page is taken up by
two large letters, with a type of slogan
underneath, this is unusual as usually the
actual article takes up most of the page.
The colour scheme makes the two pages
link together and lets the audience sub
consciously link the pages together,
otherwise they wouldnt know if the
pages are about the same thing.
Main Image: the main image takes up a whole page which makes it the main focus of the page. Hes not looking directly towards the
camera which makes the audience feel less interacted with artists/page, he seems to be looking of into the distance and is scratching his
face which makes it seem like he is thinking about something, this makes the image mysterious as the audience wonders what it is he is
thinking about it, also they may believe they may find the answer in the body of text on the right hand side of the page. The main image
links in well with the colour scheme of black and gold, black is associated with power and elegance which makes the page seem very
formal, the colour gold connotes wealth, together both the colours make the artist seem very wealthy and makes an impact on the music
industry. This is support by what he is wearing, especially the watch which seems very expensive. However, considering the jewellery and
colours connote wealth and formality, his hoodie contradicts this as they are associated with thugs. This may be an insight to what type of
music this artists produces, which is R&B. R&B is a very fashionable industry which turns out billions of pounds in profit. This is perhaps
why he is not wearing a suit as it doesnt suit his genre of music and he wants to appeal to a young audience so being fashionable and
appearing successful is key to look like a role model.
Masthead: located on the right hand
side of the double page spread, its been
push down towards the bottom of the
page so it doesnt overlap with the artist
face, this also indicates that it is less
important than the main image. The
masthead follows the colour scheme of
the page. Its written in the largest font
on the page this symbolises that this is
the name of the artists as its overlaid in
front of him, after the name fiasco its
followed by @ 9:30 this would most
likely be a time of a performance he has
scheduled or perhaps a new album
which is going to be released.
