2. COLOUR SCHEME
The colour scheme is pink,
black and white. They are
bright, striking colours
capturing the
characteristics of the pop
star.
IMAGE
The animal print, skin tight
suit she is wearing shows
her animal magnetism,
wildness and it also
sexualises her body. Her
lip stick is hot pink which
shows her femininity. She
is wearing a ring labelled
‘ICON’, she is self-
referential and showing
that she is an icon to her
fans and to the public.
LAYOUT
The text flows around Nicki
Minaj’s body, keeping her
the focus of the double
page spread. The masthead
is larger and matches the
colour scheme of the page
and image.
FONT CHOICES
“The gospel according to…”
is written in a stylistic font –
much like hand writing. This
represents the classic
nature of gospel music. The
large bold text of ‘NICKI
MINAJ’ is bold and pink,
going behind her arm as the
reader knows who she is as
she has a reputation.
3. COLOUR SCHEME
The connotations of the colour
black are mystery and an aura
of darkness, her hair is black
with thick dark eyeliner.
The intensity of the red on her
shirt represents lust and
attraction. But can also show
her angst and disdain at the
public’s opinion of her.
IMAGE
Lily Allen’s minimalistic
approach to fashion show’s
her attitude to fame,
especially to the media. She
has choppy hair and dark
eyeliner, as well as a red shirt.
Her posture suggests she is
questioning, not seductive.
Her fashion is reminiscent of
90’s grunge, which makes her
look like a punk artist rather
than a pop artist.
FONT CHOICES
The masthead used is used
for effect as it is similar to
newspaper cut outs which
shows the individuality and
the older music genre she is
trying to replicate.
LAYOUT
The layout of the magazine is
covered mainly by the masthead,
which is large and intense and
captures the audiences attention,
despite the headline.
The image shows her upper torso
to show her full posture.
The text is small and is separated
into four columns, but with a large
‘I’.
4. COLOUR SCHEME
There is a darker, gloomy and
saturated tone within the article . The
colour scheme shows how simplistic
and easy going, it is how he would like
to be perceived.
The text shows a certain colour
scheme of green and black, which
matches the hues of brown on the
artist.
IMAGE
He seems to be an indie musician, as
he is dressed casually, wearing a
flannel shirt and a necklace
and has large thick glasses. He is
unshaven and is staring blankly at the
camera, he doesn’t seem to want to
be there. The image focuses on his
face as the background is blank
making him the subject.
FONT CHOICES
The fonts on the header
which are coloured black
are larger and are to be
focused on more. It is a
direct quote from the
artist, which shows the
reader a personal insight
into his life.
LAYOUT
The layout of the double
page spread is basic, as it
shows a large image of the
artist and the text is on the
separate page, not covering
the artists face. This creates
an impact for the reader, as
well as the words ‘orgies’,
‘vomiting’ and ‘Vicodin’.
5. COLOUR SCHEME
The colour scheme of the
magazine’s double page is white,
black and red with a green tinge.
The red shows the intensity and
attraction of Jay-Z as a rapper
and an influential figure of the
music industry.
IMAGE
In the image, Jay-Z looks serious, like
his attitude towards making,
producing and performing his music.
This shows the reader that Jay-z is
mature, and doe not play around as
he is serious and passionate about
his craft.
You do not see his eyes so he has an
aura of mystery about him.
FONT CHOICES
The article itself has a
smaller, more concentrated
font to fit in more
information about the
artist, however the
masthead is in a bolder
font. It say’s “The Most
Exciting People In Music”,
this implies Jay-Z is ground-
breaking and current in the
music industry.
LAYOUT
The layout of the magazine is
simplistic with an image and
the article on separate
pages. The large red J is
printed across the text, this
shows Jay-Z’s ego as an artist
but is also a stylistic and
adds to the aesthetic of the
magazine.
