1. Analysis of Magazine Double Spread
This magazine double
spread is of Lady Gaga
and her image is the
main focus. The
uppercase “L” is for her
name and the writing
will no doubt be of her
music career and
quirky lifestyle. The
main colour focus will
be the red in the
background of the text
and the black and
white photo of her
which looking at the
picture is most likely for older men and women. The retouched photo also makes her seem
in some people eyes unspoiled as she doesn’t seem to have any spots or facial scars this
could be down to the use of Photoshop.
This is the same design
as the one above with
some obvious changes.
The picture has been
changed to contrast
the red and white
theme. The uppercase
bold “J” is to show the
readers that it is Jay Z
famous rapper in the
world of music today.
Unlike the picture
above the editor has
written a quote from
him in the picture
which may be
inspirational to his fans and people who listen to his music. The title ‘The most exciting
people in music’ will undoubtedly be about his view on people in the music industry that he
has come across as a rapper and music producer.
2. This article on Ed
Sheeran ‘I’m bringing
ginger back’ has the
main colour theme red
and white. Combining
red and white together
in a mixture would be
ginger which is what
the editor might have
wanted us to see. The
choice of title is also an
anagram of Justin
Timberlake’s song I’m
bringing sexy back; this could mean that in Ed Sheeran’s eyes ginger is a ‘sexy’ look and the
article may be about his diverse style of music, fashion and lifestyle. The background of
London also shows the place where he was brought up and is happy about his origin and
wants his fans to know this.
