This document analyzes and summarizes the visual elements used in a double page spread profile of Jay-Z. A close-up shot is used to show Jay-Z's serious facial expression while wearing sunglasses that hide his eyes. In the background, a red gradient represents his "evil" side with white representing "good". Large red text introduces the profile in a bigger font than other text, with Jay-Z's initial "J" prominently featured behind the text. Medium shots show most of his body and facial expressions against a dark background consistent with his serious persona.

In the
background a
shaded
gradient of
red has been
used this
could of been
used to show
that one side
of him is evil
(red) whilst
the other side
is good
(white)
This font has been put in red
and is in a bigger font
compared to the extract on
the right hand side this shows
that it is more important
The letter J is huge and is behind the text but
is visible this is a very good effect because Jay
Z name begins with J so you know that he is
more important than the text
Big letters have been used to introduce each
paragraph so it stands out but it is not
bigger than the J

majority of his body and you are able
to see his facial expression

seriousness

used here is a medium
shot you are able to
see most of his body

covered his face with a
white mask

his muscles to show off
them and this could draw
the readers attention to
his arms

with a quote this is really effective
because is wants to make the
