2. COLOUR SCHEME
The colour scheme is
pink, black and white,
with the odd pop of
each colour. The pink is
in a range of different
shades. Nicki stands
out as the background
is all one colour which
makes her the focus.
IMAGE
The black and white top stands
out well on the back ground, the
fact it is animal print could
suggest that she is quite wild.
Her lips are the only pink thing
on her which helps to match with
the theme. She has a ring which
says “ICON” which could mean
that she is popular and is a role
model to people. Her eyes are
standing out to as they are one
of the whitest thing on the page.
LAYOUT
The text takes the shape of where the
shape of her body is on the right. The
text is written in columns. The image
take up a page and carries on onto the
next page. The first letter of the article
is written in pink and is bigger than the
rest .
FONT CHOICES
“The gospel according to” is written in
fancy lettering which leads to Nicki
Minaj which is written in a bold capital
letters in an easily readable font. Most
of the font is written in grey so the pink
and black text bits stand out. The font is
earily readable when the picture is of
good quality.

3. COLOUR SCHEME
The colour scheme is black,
white and red. The mast head
has a black background which
helps for the letters to stand
out. The red is the only bright
kind of colour and the rest is
quite dull
IMAGE
Showcasing different styles- Emo.
She's looking at the camera and
posing in a laid back way and
leaning forwards. Her outfit is also
quite casual and not very dressed
up it is also the only bit of colour
on the page. Her make up makes
her eyes stand out and also
matches with her hair and colour
scheme. The image is the first
thing you see on the page. She
also has messy hair which is
intentional.
FONT CHOICES
The information is in tiny writing
and seems difficult to read which
could suggest that it isn’t that
important. The masthead is large
and in capital and is in quite a fun
unique font. This could suggest
that the masthead is more
important to help get a message
across. The headline says
“attention seeking” the font could
suggest that she is attention
seeking as it stands out a lot.
LAYOUT
The majority of the page is taken up
by the headline and half of it is
taken up the imagine which leave
very little room for information on
the article. The text is written in
simple columns. The head line is
quite messy and looks like cut out of
words which gives a good unique
effect.
The pose and her hands on her hips give off
that she has a bad attitude, she also looks
very rebellious and unconventional for a
pop star but this could also suggest that she
is just like normal people and wants to
express her other side. Her pose also
suggest that she is questioning not being
seductive.

4. COLOUR SCHEME
There is a darker, gloomy and
saturated tone within the article.
The colour scheme shows how
simplistic and easy going he is and
it is also how he would like to be
perceived.
The text is in a simple colour of
black and green which are again
very simple.
IMAGE
The image suggest that he is an indie
musician as he is dressed casually,
wearing a flannel shirt, necklace and
is wearing large thick glasses. He is
unshaven and is staring blankly at
the camera almost like he doesn’t
seem to want to be there. The image
focuses on his face as the
background is blank making him the
subject. All of these points add up to
say that he is quite ordinary.
FONT CHOICES
The fonts on the masthead is
a lot bigger than the rest of
the information it is also a
simple easy to read font. The
text is small and quite hard
to read which could suggest
that it isn’t as important. In
the text there is some larger/
bolder text which indicates
the beginning of a paragraph
which makes it easier to
LAYOUT
The layout of the double
page spread is basic, as it
shows a large image of the
artist on one side and the
text on the other, nothing
is on the artist face which
could suggest importance.
This creates an impact for
the reader as well as the
words “orgies” “vomiting”
and “Vicodin”
The majority of the double
page spread is taken up by
the image and the headline
which shows that they
could be the main focus.
The headline is made up of
a quote which is in the
article.

green kind of colour.
The red stands our most and draws you in making
you want to read it this makes some of the main
parts red as they are the ones you want to read
more.
IMAGE
In the imagine Jay- Z looks quite serious which could
suggest that he is serious about his music.
This could appeal to his audience as they know that he
isn’t messing around when he is creating music. The
chain around is neck could show that he earns a lot of
money. In the image he also looks like he isn’t happy
about life.
FONT CHOICES
The font choice is quite simple but looks smart.
There is also bolder parts where main
paragraphs start which makes you want to read
it. The large red “J” stands out and draws you
in. The main article as tiny writing so they can
fit a lot of information on it.
LAYOUT
The layout is good as it fills in
all the space which means
that it looks smart.
Half of the double page
spread is a picture of Jay-Z
this shows his importance
and that the article is about
him. The article has a lot of
information meaning it fills a
lot of space
