Transcript of Magazine Double Page Spread Analysis
The paleness of her hair and skin is contrasted by her black outfit – suggests she’s darker than she initially appears
Looking at reader quite seductively – playing with hair – quite a seductive pose, playful. Reflects her setting which appears to be a bed
Woman almost in a glow – allows her to stand out from the page
This part of the picture darker, make sure that she is the focus of the article
Name of band she is in – not particularly noticeable but slightly highlighted. As if she is the main person the focus is on, not the band itself
Large quotation, very eye-catching. ‘Bitch’ in different colour and bold -quite self-derogatory. Eye catching for readers as well.
Brown band, draw attention to short intro. Woman’s name in white, bold capitals, clear who the article will be about
Bold, brown letters at beginning of article, clear where article starts
Once again, text split into rows of 3 - organised
Have a quotation from the article itself, catch readers’ attention, encourage them to read on and find out more. Contrasted against black dress so it is visible
Have the page number here as well as the name of the magazine.
Black and white picture of Lady Gaga, medium close up, see exactly who it is.
Almost like chains around her neck – could this suggest that she is trapped?
Big red ‘L’ contrasts colour scheme and stands out. If flicking through, reader would notice it immediately – eye catching. ‘L’ for Lady Gaga. Red could connote passion as her pose is seductive
Capital letters show where new main paragraphs begin.
‘Q’ logo at bottom of page – aware still of the magazine. Page number – will link to contents page – easy navigation for reader. Has issue date on there too
Text set out into 3 clear columns - organised
Black and white picture links in with the grey and white colour scheme – I very much like the grey scale idea
Name at the top, clear who the article is about. Writing relatively big, stands out. Writing quite elegant and sophisticated like the article itself
Covering herself up implying she is quite exposed – quite a lot of skin showing. Looking at reader quite seductively
Columns clearly set out as with all magazinesBig red ‘M’ shows where
article begins as it stands out well. White text also does this
White box contrast background. Gives more info on the band’s songs – reader may feel they are getting a little more for their money
Clear what section of the magazine this article is in. also gives website address, encourage readers to visit website to find out more info
World Exclusive stands out quite well from the red background. Gives the magazine a USP, has info before anyone else in the world
My Chemical Romance in bold – clear who the band is. Also a short summary with regard the article theme. Use an ellipsis at the end – encourage reader to read on
Large quotation acts as article title. ‘The Best MCR’ bigger and in white – stands out more – indication of who the article is about
Smaller pictures in article, all black and white to fit in with the colour scheme – black, white and red
This is the main picture implying that he is the main focus. In quite a rock ‘n’ roll pose, reflect music style
Small captions on pictures briefly describe what they are about
Describing tracks as ‘New’ and ‘Hot’ – may grasp readers attention
Writing has quite a rocky and rough feel to it which reflects genre of band and magazine in general
