Textual Analysis - Music Artists
- 1. Textual Analysis - Music Artists COMPARE AND ANALYSE HERE HOW 3 DIFFERENT MUSIC MAGAZINES PORTRAY ONE ARTIST
- 2. JAY-Z
- 3. JAY-Z : BLENDER MAGAZINE Jay-Z is the only image on this cover, and is made to stand out by using a plain white background. The simple use of the colours of black and white contrasts greatly with the only other colour on the cover – red. Shown to be important as the word ‘JAY-Z” is the only other large word apart from the title that is printed in red. His head is overlapping the title showing importance Use of the subheading ‘the fly life of an American gangster’ draws attention to the man on the cover and hints to what the article is about. It also ties in with his outfit.
- 4. JAY-Z : BLENDER MAGAZINE Jay-Z is the only image on this cover, and is seen in a black and white image The main colour scheme here is black and white which contrasts greatly with the colours seen in the billboard logo. His head is overlapping the title showing importance The title links with Jay-Z himself as it contains the name of his record label
- 5. JAY-Z : ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE Jay-Z is again the only image on this cover, and is made to stand out by using a plain white background. The use of the colours of black and white contrasts with the other colours on the cover – yellow and red. Serious expression on the face creates eye contact with the reader The words ‘HIP-HOP’ beside his face show his relevance to the article His head is overlapping the title showing importance All other headings are to the left of the image showing more of jay-z himself – again showing his importance.
- 6. SUMMARY Despite being magazines of different genres, each magazine portrays Jay-Z in a similar way They all had him and only him as the background They all had a theme of black and white, and all used the occasional bold colour to brighten up and draw attention to the cover They all had the head of Jay-Z overlapping the title He is portrays as an important, authorative figure that is the master of what he does. This is shown my text moving around him, and him being alone on the cover.
