Brontes Works

1. The main image takes up just over half the page. It features Florence, the topic of the article, sitting on a box covered in a red and white flag which the reader
assumes is the American flag. The image fits nicely with the colours scheme which is red, white and black. Florence is wearing all black and her trademark red hair
is the only colour she is wearing. The red of her hair matches the flag nicely and makes the image look very neat. I like how the red matches her hair as it ties all
the different aspects of the image together. The flag is mise-en-scene as the article is about Florence’s success in America and by her sitting on the American flag it
connotes that she has conquered the USA. As the read is the only colour on the page the readers are instantly drawn to the image. I thought this was a good idea
as it effectively grabs the reader’s attention. Florence herself is in quite a seductive long shot and this will help to attract both males and females that are fans of
her work. The pose connotes a confident woman, also the fact she is on a podium connotes that she has taken over or achieved something and has gained a high
status.
The main headline ‘USA got the love’ has a greyscale colour scheme. ‘USA’ is in big bold grey letters and takes up two thirds of the top half of the pages.
It goes behind the image but can still be easily seen. The big ‘USA’ suggests to the reader that the article will have something to do with Florence
achieving something in America. The second part of the main headline is smaller and is in a different front. The font is black and is thinner and longer
than the other font. It also has curved ends. This type of font is usually seen as a feminine font and this suggests that the article is aimed towards a
female target audience. I like the contrast between the two different fonts as they contrast nicely. The fonts could reflect Florence’s personality as she is
powerful but still has a feminine side to her. The main headline line is also a pun of Florence’s hit song ‘You’ve got the love’
Underneath the main headline is
the sub headline. The sub head
line briefly gives the reader an
idea of what the article is going
to be about. I like this as it makes
the reader want to continue
reading the article and find out
more. The article begins with a
drop cap. The drop cap has a
similarfont to the second half of
the main headline. It has curly
ends and suggests the article is
targeted towards a female target
audience.
The text font is all black with
makes the article simplistic and
seem sophisticated; the article has
three columns all of different sizes.
I think this looks okay but I feel the
last column looks a little out of
place as it’s a lot taller than the
other columns. The columns make
it easier for the readers to read the
article and it makes the article look
neat and sophisticated. The article
is free flowing and this makes the
article flow a lot better than a Q&A
would as there have to be breaks
for the questions. I like how the
article flows and is more like one
continuous story.
