Deconstruction

it is across the top and in the centre, the first piece of text you
see/notice In black contrasting with the white background. The
album title is just under making it second noticeable and relating
them, this is in a different font and smaller, but still in the centre.
At the bottom of the page there is a quote in red making to
stand out more than other text and highlighting a colour used in
the image.
Under this is a larger text stating the release date, making it a
dominating piece of text it is black, (again contrasts white
background)
Smaller and at the bottom of the page is a part saying ‘includes
the single L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N’ this is another way of promoting
the album as people may like this song and be more intrigued by
the album.
All text is clear and easy to read in a classic font style and
contrasting colours to the background.
The image is centre on the page, it is colourful and
detailed, making it stand out the most.
The image is of the artist/the band. It is a long shot as it includes
all of them and they’re whole bodies.
I like the colours used in the image, contrasts between blue and
purple colours with red/orange/yellow colours. I like how bright
and busy it is without being overpowering.
The whole set up is like a classic magazine/newspaper set
up, hinting at their unique style.
Another thing I find interesting is how two images are combined
to create this.

3. Florence and the Machine – Lungs, magazine advertisement:
Deconstruction
The whole advert is framed by a white line frame. The main text
on the page is the artists name and the album title, I know this
because they are the largest pieces of text and the artists name is
in a different font. They are both in white and the background is
black so they contrast and are clear to read. They are both centred
in the page and so is the rest of the text. They smaller text is in the
same font as the album title which makes them more related to
each other. All the text is centred with more important parts
slightly larger such as the release date. The information it includes
is the artists name, album title, album release date, featuring
songs, how it is available (e.g. vinyl) and the artists website. The
image is the main point of the advert, I think this is so that people
will recognise the artist and be intrigued by the advert. The image
is also highlight by it being the only part of the magazine which has
colour in it. All of the colours are contrasting, then red and pink
colour contrast with the different green shades. Her skin is really
light which contrasts with the dull background. I like that there is a
lot of colour contrast here but nothing too bright or over powering.
This is a mid close-up, her eyes are not to camera and her pose is
relaxed. Her arms and hands are included in the image, makes it
look more interesting. I like the patterned flowery background
makes the image have more depth. The image relates to the
album title ‘Lungs’ as she is wearing artificial lungs under her top.
