powerpoint analysing 2 magazine double page spread articles

3. ANALYSING MAGAZINE
ARTICLES: LORDE
Images: There are 2 main images on the
double page spread, both of Lorde as
that is who the article is about. The
pictures are black and white and her hair
and make up have been done so that
they look very striking. Her face appears
to almost be framed by it’s surroundings
because her hair is dark and she is
wearing a black top so this frames her
pale face and makes it look more
interesting and unusual. She is directly
addressing the camera so this and the
poses make it very intense which kind of
relates to the type of artist she is and the
music she produces.
Layout: This double page is laid out so the 2 images are at the top and
below, there are 6 small columns of text. I think this is very neat and
organised and it looks very good.
Colour scheme: The colour scheme for this article is just black and white and there are no bright colours at all, even
in the image. I think this makes it look very striking and unusual and also very nicely simplistic which I like.
Text: in this article the text is all at the bottom and is in quit a small font, probably so that the pictures can be as big
as possible. In the first column, there is just credits to the photographer and Lorde’s name in big font so people can
tell the article is about her, the font is big but thin which adds to the simplistic feel of the article looks cool. The
second column has a small introduction to Lorde in case if the reader wanted to know more about her or wanted to
know what the article was about which is very helpful. This text is bigger than the rest so people can tell it’s an
introduction and not part of the main body of text. There is a little bit of text below the picture which is not part of
the article, just telling the reader what she’s wearing and stuff.

4. ANALYSING MAGAZINE
ARTICLES: ARCTIC
MONKEYS
Images: There are a few images on this
double page spread. The main image is
the one on the left page because it is the
biggest and it is boxed and it features all
of the band members. They are wearing
fairly casual clothes: jeans and a shirt or
jacket, and the main singer, Alex Turner
is holding a record. They are all looking
directly at the camera and the
background is just a wall. There are also
a few other images, 3 of them are of
album covers and there are 2 of men
which are integrated with the text, there
are 2 more of the Arctic Monkeys in the
bottom right corner which are also
boxed but are set at an angle, and there
are a few pictures of records on the page
too.
Layout: This double page is not as simplistic as the previous one but it is
still quite neat as most sections are in individual boxes, and there are a
couple of columns in each. There is some text over the main image but it
has a white background so it can be easily read.
Colour scheme: The colour scheme for this article is red, grey, white and
black so it’s not over the top but it does have a nice splash of colour and
the images are also in colour.
Text: The text on this page is a lot bigger on this article than the previous one. The main text is over the main image
and looks like it might be a quote but the are no quotation marks so I can’t be sure, and then there’s a little
explanation below it in smaller font explaining what the article’s about. The text on then other page is laid out in
columns within boxes, each with a title, which for 2 of them is the name of artists and for the other 2 are quotes.
The titles have a little bit of text below them explaining what it’s about. There are also little bits of text in red boxes
both titled ‘Singled Out’ with pictures of records at the top.
