2. The main imagine of Beyoncé is
on the right side of the double
spread page, the imagine takes
up the whole page. This will
make the audience realise that
the article is all about the
artist.Beyonces make up, hair
and costume stands out as it
reflect back to the masthead it
highlights the word “fierce”.
The use of metal in her costume
is a way to communicate to the
audience that she is powerful
and strong.Also, the costume is
“creative” because you don’t
see women wearing metal
everyday. Beyoncé is looking
directly at the camera which
makes the imagine and
audience connect because it is
directly addressed to the
audience.
The main headline is on the left hand side and it is in bold white font.
The font represent the words in a way as the word “fiercely” is very
big and bold whereas, “creative” is not in bold. This means that the
word “fiercely ” will stand out more and attracts the audience. Also, it
could communicate that “fiercely” describes Beyoncé more that the
word “creative” .
The caption “women of the year” is at the top
right corner. This indicates to the audience who
the article Is about. The name of the artist
“Beyoncé” is not mention which means that she
is very popular in her genre of music that the
magazine does not need to mention her name
because the audience already know who she Is.
There are two columns at the left hand side
of the double spread page. It is located at
the left hand side because, the purpose of
this double spread page is for the audience
to see the picture of Beyoncé first rather
than the writing when they first turn the
page as it will attract readers
By-line is used to tell he
reader who wrote the
article.
There are no bold
subheads therefore,
the readers will
assume that the
article is only about
one topic.
The background of the
magazine is purple which is
a colour that is associate
with female however, the
background of the main
imagine is grey.
3. There isn’t much blank spaces which
makes the article look like it is full of
interesting stories and gossip.
A mid body shot of the artist have been used as a
main imagine, it is almost placed at the centre of
the page. Her make up matches with the colour
scheme “pink” as she is wearing pink lipstick
which makes the double spread page very
powerful in my opinion because everything links
together and makes it look very eye catching as
the costume and colour theme is matching.
There is a pulled
quote from the
interview which will
allow the reader to
find interest in the
article. The pulled
quote highlights the
most important part
of the article which
attracts the readers
attention.
The text is split into section
across the page discussing
different topics. This type
of style is for younger
targeted audience as it is
easy to read. In addition,
the colour theme is pink
which will attract teenage
girls.
Nicki's zebra print
costume and the
background of the
page is very
contrasting which
makes it very effective
because of the
colours and patterns
The sub headings is in bold black
font and each column is number is
pink numbers. This makes it more
readable as the readers are able to
follow the article because they are
able to read it in different sections
A page number and the name
of the magazine is included
at the left bottom corner.Drop Capital is used, the letter “W
shows s to the reader that it is an article
as a drop capital is a feature of a article.
Also, the drop capital will show to the
reader where to start reading.
The masthead is “The
Gospel according to Nicki
Minaj” The word"Gospel”
indicates to the audience
that she is presented as
God like. This could be
interpreted as she is seen
as a goddess in the genre
of Hip-Hop.Also,the front
of the title is big and bold
which suggest to the
audience that the whole
double spread page is
about her as the title is
bigger than the other
titles. “Nicki Minaj” is
written in bright pink
which implies femininity
as the colour pink is
stereotypically associated
with women. The big
vibrant title fits in with her
fun personality.
