9. Analysis of Contents
The Contents page in this xxl issue has a colour scheme
of dark colours apart from the where some small parts
used red, such as the dash in the masthead and the title
for Cover Story. Furthermore, this connotes the
importance of the title as the red colour shows that it is
the main part of the contents page as its the cover story as
its highlighted in red. Also masthead also uses a different
font than from the XXL logo, showing its more modern
and different as a generic font scheme would not appeal
to the audience as teenagers and young adults like
modern things and trendy styles.
As Dr.Dre is the main image of this magazine this
connotes he is the most important in this issue.
The little quote gives a tease of what's to come inside the
magazine.
10. Analysis of double page spread
Double page spread features
denotation of famous rapper Dr Dre.
What he's wearing is a black jacket
with a serious face. This is connoting
that he is a serious guy. A guy to take
serious.
Also the lighting in the double page
spread I notice that the chest is largely
dark with no light on that part. This
could show he's got no personality and
that is he is a cold guy.
