The document describes the layout and design elements of two magazine pages. The first page is dedicated to a full-page main image. The second page features a large main heading at the top, followed by a sub-heading and four columns of article text arranged around a bottom image. Key details like the artist Dizzee Rascal's name are highlighted through bolding and size. The color scheme and background images on the pages are consistent and relate to the theme of creativity and fun represented by the artist.

1. Layout: The whole of one page is
dedicated to the main image. The
layout on the other is that the main
heading takes up the majority of the
page, it’s followed by the sub heading
and below is the actual article which
has been dissected into four columns
structured around an image at the
bottom of the page. The writing
amount in each mini column is around
the same – shows that there is equality
here which makes it look appealing
and normal. The order of image, text
and image – like a sandwich makes the
pages look nicely laid out and sensible.
Main Image: The main image on this
page is the same model from the cover –
this is because he is the main attraction
of this magazine issue. On the cover he
was represented as fun, care free and a
happy person. In contrast in this image
he us quite comically represented as
mischievous and doing some immoral to
the law. However the implication that
he’s using all these colours and simply
doing “tags” still sets that fun tone. The
shot itself is a medium shot – this shows
off his outfit as it matches the magazines
colour scheme and so is important to be
displayed.
Main heading: The heading is a
subordinate clause which you wouldn’t
usually start a sentence with – but the
actual article carries it on which makes it
work. Two words stand out in the heading
as they are bolder and bigger: “tags” and
“riches” this is because theses contrast
each other as the before and after and so
the editors wisely chose to highlight these
key words. Position wise, it is at the top of
the page and this follows the convention
where titles are at the top so they are the
first thing seen as they’re highly important.
Sub heading: “ 2009 has been Dizee
Rascal’s year…” The position of the sub
heading is directing below the main
heading this is ordinary and follows the
convention of chronological and
sensible ordering. “Dizzee Rascal’s”
name is in bold as opoosed to the rest
of the subheading – this is because
he’s the main focus of the magazine
he’s on the front of the actual
magazine and the main image to this
article – the links made highlight him
as the main focus. The length of the
subheading is longer than you’d expect
creating the illusion that this article
has a lot to it just like this subheading
does.
Byline: Positioned by the main title –
near the top. It’s a convention that the
contributors are mentioned before the
actual article so its met. Their roles are
titles “words” and “pictures” a basic
view on their
Colour scheme: The colour scheme is as it
was before – and so this magazine has
demonstrated the use of consistency through
colour. The main background is white, the
text is black and you get all three colours -
including red from the models outfit. There is
further use of colour from the graffiti and art
work displayed on the background although
this isn’t involved in the colour scheme but
relates to the article.
Mise en scene: On the second page there is a background image. The backing is paint blobs,
graffiti lines and further down there are bottles and a stereo. The graffiti and paint side of this
image connect to the main image where he is using these materials – bringing them onto the
next page shows consistency and follows up well. In addition, the actual creativity and colour
displayed creates a positive fun vibe which is the impression made by Dizzee Rascals presence
throughout the magazine. The scene at the bottom of the page denote a scene from a
hangout, party having a presence or more than one person – some kind of gathering
displayed. The bottles probably contained an alcohol which symbolises high spirits and good
times – linking with this positive theme. There is a contrast between the bottles where three
are green and one is more of a brown – this can symbolise being unique which Dizzee is being
displayed and talked about being. A bottle is tipped over and left on its side – this represents
a s care free attitude once again associated with Dizee Rascel’s representation. Finally the
stereo itself looks old and vintage like again linking with the past and a good time – its colours
match that segregated bottle which makes it look effective.
