A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Date and Price
The Date and Price are positioned in a small white barcode
box in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This
common feature tends to be used in all magazines. The date
is to indicate to the reader, especially in cases when buying
a magazine of a shelf how new the issue is. The price is
positioned in an area in which attention won’t be drawn to
it, this may be so the price does not deter the customer
from purchasing the magazine. The size and subtly of the
box is to fill the front cover with more features which will
persuade a customer to buy the magazine.
Sub Heading and Sub Image
The sub heading is positioned in a banner across the top of the front
page. ‘YEAH YEAH YEAHS + THE SROKES’ gives the audience an
indication as to which artists are going to be featured in the issue. This
links to the simplicity of the masthead title as the sub heading is very
straightforward. This represents the readers of NME, they understand
what the magazine is about therefore no over the top sub heading is
used. A black background of the banner compared to the bright yellow
of the text draws focus and attention due to the high contrast of the
colours. The text underneath the sub heading ‘NEW YORK’S FINEST:
BACK FROM THE DEAD!’ and the ‘+’ symbol are featured in white. This
is the classic high contrast colour pairing and draws more attention
than the use of the yellow text, which persuades the reader to read the
full banner and emphasises how much the issue contains due to the
attention drawn to the ‘+’ symbol. The sub images both feature the
colour red, which ties the cover together. The images themselves are
very simplistic and relate to the straight forwardness of the sub
heading.
Masthead
The masthead displays the NME title in a classic font, similar to Franklin
Gothic Heavy. The font is heavy, strong and clear. The font and title is
easily recognisable whenever it is seen, on a shelf or on a
laptop/tablet/phone spread. The boldness of the title is featured in a
classic red colour. The simplicity of the 3 letter masthead provides a
classic trademark which is easily comprehensible for buyers. The idea of
an unknown to many title ‘NME’ may intrigue buyers to purchase or even
look into what the magazine itself is about and what it represents. The
red font represents strength and power, which due to the 74% male
readership is an intense colour a male audience will be drawn to. Even
though the emotions the colour red connotes, it isn’t necessarily
stereotypically tied to a specific gender, such as pink being drawn to
females and blue being drawn to males. This shows the masthead can
attract both genders due to its vagueness in a gender stereotype.
Diversity
NME shows its diversity on this front cover by featuring very
contrasting artists. The mentioned artists in this magazine include; Mick
Jagger, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Dave Grohl and Foals. This
suggests NME is a brand which offers something to everyone, which
persuades the reader to buy the issue rather than featuring 2 or 3
artists of the same genre.
Cover Lines
These cover lines feature two different styles of writing. A
more feminine writing style is featured in the words ‘Starring’ and
‘More’. This signifies and is very similar to a handwriting style, which
again shows NME’s personal interaction with the reader.
Plug
This plug is positioned in a simple white ring around the text. The plug
contains a controversial quote from Mick Jagger. The white ring draws
attention inside the circle to make this magazine feature known to the
reader. This quote also draws focus on the NME Awards, which gives an
indication to the NME reader that they are getting as much ‘NME’
features in the magazine.
Exclusive to the issue / Buzz Word
‘DAVE GROHL’S NEW BAND’… indicates this is something the reader
does not yet know and they will be receiving an exclusive from NME
Main Image and Headline
These two features show how NME works as a brand to personally
connect with the readers. The main image shows the 5 Foals members
staring towards the reader. This provides a very intimate relationship
with the reader and also implies honesty, especially from Foals,
suggesting NME has respect and honesty from their artists. The centre
of the main image shows a member of Foals offering bones to the
camera. ‘FOALS, get close to the bone’ located in white contrasting text
under the main headline draws emphasis on the story, due to the
connection between the image and the headline. The main headline ‘TO
MAKE THIS RECORD, THINGS HAD TO BE KILLED’ uses a pull quote. This
quote has been pulled from Foals’ main NME interview. This again
indicates to the personal relationship with NME and their readers. It
shows simplicity and that they don’t go over the top coming up with
catchy headlines to impress the reader. The main headline is presented
in capitals, this again draws attention to the quote and signifies how
extreme the quote is, making them want to read the full interview. ‘Get
close to the bone’ can also encourage readers to buy the issue even not
knowing who Foals are, as it indicates this interview will provide them
with everything they need to know about them and they won’t miss out
by not knowing who Foals are.
4. Branding
The branding used on this cover page uses very subtle
techniques. The logo itself is only featured on 4 small
images of NME magazines. The words ‘NME’, used in the
classic font, are shown in a small red rectangular box
located in the bottom right hand corner of the page. The
text is featured in a plug for NME, in which they are
advertising for a saving of 42% if readers subscribe. This
simple, minimal branding reflects NME’s front covers.
The title used on the front covers, specifically in the Foals
cover I have previously analysed, is very simple. It is
shown once on every cover in bold, block letters. This
mirrors the simplicity on the contents page as the
branding is only shown in small print. If the branding on
the contents page was over the top and featured in large
letters, it would take away the impression the reader
gets when looking at the front cover. This almost
suggests to the reader that NME as a brand is very
consistent in the way they present themselves.
Layout
The contents page is split into 4 main segments
separated by border lines. The segments are spaced into
3 columns and 1 large bottom right rectangular box. This
layout is reasonably simple and presents the information
into a format in which the reader can easily see the
contents, page numbers etc. 7 main, page numbered
stories are featured around the page.
Freebie
The contents page of this issue gives the reader a
freebie. ‘SUBSCRIBE TO NME TODAY AND SAVE UP TO
42%’ is presenting the reader with a possible discount if
they choose to subscribe to NME’s issues. The use of
image is balanced to the use of text in this red box. The
image shows 4 completely different issues of NME,
which shows the diversity of the brand. The
representation of these images persuades the reader to
subscribe to NME alongside them reading the text. The
hierarchy of this contents page has structured the most
important part of the feature, in the largest text shown
in a bright white font. This draws the readers attention
to this area straight away due to the larger contrast the
white text has on the red background compared to
black text on the red background. The ‘NME’ letters are
featured in black alongside the web address to claim the
freebie. This highlights the most important information
in the feature, second to the freebie itself, and almost
draws these parts of the text out from the majority of
the white text.
White space
There is some small areas of white space in this contents
page. All the features are located on a plain white
background, there is no background image etc. which is
usually featured in music magazine contents pages. This
is a key part in creating a simple image for the reader.
There is white space wherever in between the page
numbers and images which shows the reader clearly
where a new image starts and ends.
Balance
This contents page has a much larger ratio of images to
text. An image is used underneath every page number.
The images used tend to be clear and show what the
particular article they are offering shows. This creates
simplicity for the reader as like in most other
magazines, they do not have to analyse the picture to
work out what it is trying to portray. The text located
under every page number and image uses a pull quote.
This quote is taken from the article to show the reader
exactly what they will be reading in this specific spread.
A brief summary of the feature is located underneath
the quote. This hierarchy is used to show the reader
NME is a personal magazine and likes to get straight to
the point rather than using over complicated cover
lines.
5. Layout
This double page spread is divided into
thirds. The first left hand two thirds
feature 1 block image. The right hand
third features the article title and the
article itself. The right hand third is the
only segment of the spread which
features writing. The ratio of balance on
this spread is as follows; 33% text and
67% image.
Credits
There are two references located on this
spread as to who is responsible for the
making of it. ‘Jamie Fullerton finds
they’re more than happy with the
plaudits’ is a line featured in the subtitle
directly underneath the heading. This
shows the magazine is giving direct
credit to the interviewer and writer
within one of the most significant parts
of the page. This differs to most
magazine spreads in which a small credit
is given to the writer, usually separate
from the story itself. This shows NME
writers and the artists associated with
the brand are all as one and that NME is
a people’s magazine.
Font
The heading of the page, read simply as
‘THE VACCINES’, uses the same font as
used in the bands logo. This shows that
NME really get to know the artists they
feature and are willing to adapt to them
rather than changing them. The font
used in this article is a classic,
straightforward easy to read choice. It is
common to see this style of font in a
British newspaper. This almost reflects
the British background and origin behind
NME magazine, rather than them using
over the top fonts typically seen in
American music magazines. The font
used in pull quotes and the subheading
uses a rounded font. This gives an
informal feel and suggests the magazine
itself is again all about the NME brand
connecting directly to their readers and
reaching them in an informal, friendly
like manner.
Typography
The leading and tracking of the main article uses very small spacing in between individual letters and lines. This due to the
small font, when looking at the page, suggests there is a lot of information on the page. This impression is also created due to
the lack of white space and the good use of space. This appeals to a reader as they feel they are getting their money’s worth in
terms of the content in the magazine. The small font, leading and tracking makes the page look elegant and simplistic. To a
reader the typography may appeal as having a similar look to a British newspaper article, as they also use similar techniques.
Composition
In terms of colour, the spread gives a warm toned feel with slight cool toned blues featured around various areas of the page.
The colours used in the main image give a bleached, dusty vibe with a good range of harmonious colours, which work together
well due to the similarity in their hues. The band look pale which almost makes them look slightly stripped back. This relates to
the article as it suggests to the reader the band have been completely stripped back in terms of their interview. The point of
focus is centred on the face of the lead singer, this shows readers who do not know the band who the frontman is clearly.
Main Imagery
The main image shows a high angle shot
of the band showing the back 3
members in a medium-long shot and the
front member in a medium-close-up
shot. This is due to the composition of
the image. This very clearly separates
the front member from the back 3
members, clearly showing the readers
who is the lead member of the band and
gives an idea to those who do not know
much about the band who the frontman
is. The image shows all members looking
directly towards the camera or in
audience form, directly to the reader.
The bands direct eye gaze emphasises
the band’s confidence and makes them
appear powerful and fearless. This
technique creates a direct connection
between the reader and the band.
The use of the colour blue
The colour blue is spread around the
magazine in various lines and shapes.
The colour is also used in the font of
letter forms, quotes and the writers
name. This breaks up the large blocks of
small text and offers a cooler tone to the
rather warm colour scheme. The use of
this colour pulls the spread together.
6.
7. Feature Headline and Main Image
The main headline, image and story of this particular issue features
on the British Rock band Bring Me the Horizon. The colour scheme
and the most heavily used colours on this front cover include
whites and blues. A brighter, more vibrant colour is used on the
features in which the editors want to draw attention to, for
example the bright yellow being used in the plug. The main
headline is featured in a bright red font. This draws attention to the
headline itself and also the band. The font used on the main
headline is nothing that has been chosen from the magazines
selection of fonts, it uses Bring Me the Horizon’ logo font. This
implies RockSound as a company are very heavily involved with the
artists they feature and suggests the magazine respects and is
willing to adapt everything they can to respect the band. This
almost gives the readers a guarantee RockSound will always
provide them with music, which is the most important thing. The
main image features all 5 members of Bring Me the Horizon
featured in a format which shows the lead singer, Oli, featured at
the front. All of the band members are positioned to be staring
directly at the reader, this creates a sense of intimacy and suggests
we need to learn more about the band to understand why one of
the members is positioned at the front and particularly to readers
who are unaware of the band. This creates another opportunity to
persuade the reader to buy the magazine.
Cover Lines/Sub Headings
The cover lines on this front cover are positioned around the sides of
the page, featured in bold writing in front of a white background.
The text is featured in black, red and yellow. The high contrast in
these colours, tends to be used in many front cover’s on many
different magazine companies, to draw attention to the stories and
highlight the text so it is one of the first parts the buyer will read.
The cover lines are mainly shown in capital letters with some form of
attentive punctuation featured afterwards, such as ‘LOOK WHO’S
BACK!’. There are many cover lines featured around the magazine,
which doesn’t necessarily cram the magazine but can make certain
sections of the page hard to read. For example, the top third and
bottom third of the cover are rather full and have fitted as much
information in as possible whereas the middle third only features the
main story, which in this case is Bring Me the Horizon. This shows
the composition RockSound uses, a lot of attention is created around
the sub-stories etc. and an equal amount is used on the composition
of the feature story, showing a lot of attention is based around the
main story.
Freebie
RockSound are offering a free CD and sevenfold poster in this
October 2012 issue. This freebie attracts buyers to the magazine
straight away, mainly due to the physical layout of the freebie. ‘FREE
CD’ is featured in bright yellow writing on a red arrowed background,
this creates a contrast and catches the readers eye. This banner also
creates a buzzword with ‘free’. Although many other magazines give
freebies etc. in their issues, this creates a USP for RockSound as it is
unlikely any other brand are giving away the same bonuses. The CD
and poster that are giving away relates to the genre of the magazine.
The poster features on a band in the heavy rock industry. This
presents fluidity for the reader and shows the brand have clearly
listened to their target audience rather than giving away a freebie
the classic RockSound reader would not like. The simple wording and
the attention ‘FREE CD’ draws indicates to the reader RockSound is
all about the music and that they want to reward their loyal
customers with the reason they buy the magazine; music.
Date, Price and Barcode
The date and price of this magazine is located above the standard
bar code. The price of this magazine, issued in October 2012 is
£3.99. This number shows us that RockSound price their magazines
to a middle class of affordability. The price is not too cheap nor too
expensive. This magazine represents the average pricing of a
British music magazine. The price, date, barcode and issue number
are not necessarily of importance in a magazine, specifically to the
editor who’s main aim is to fill the cover with as many components
as possible to make the magazine sell. This is why these are located
in the bottom right hand corner of the cover in a small black box.
Plug
‘EXCLUSIVE!’ creates a pull for the readers. Again by
the feature of the bright yellow writing against the
black background attention is drawn to the plug
straight away. This plug worded in capitals featured
with an exclamation mark draws a sense of urgency
to the magazine, almost creating the feeling the
reader needs to find out exactly what this exclusive
is, which persuades the reader to buy the issue.
8. Branding
The branding on this contents page is very simplistic. The
branding is featured in the top left hand corner of the page.
‘ROCK SOUND’ is featured in the classic white text, as
featured on all RockSound covers. This links the contents
page to the front cover and creates a running colour
scheme and theme throughout the issue. The issue number
and date is featured in white, also, underneath the logo.
There has been hierarchy used on this page to clearly
remind the reader what they are reading and inform them
of the date the magazine was issued. This shows how
straightforward RockSound is. This is shown through the
text being positioned in clear, bold, large writing and a
bright white font. This shows the typography used in
RockSound is very significant.
Hierarchy
The hierarchy of the main articles uses 2 different font
colours. The heading of the stories.. ‘MAIN FEATURES’ is
written in white text presented on a red background.
The text alongside the article headings features a rather
heavy weight font. The headings are featured directly on
top of the background image. The colours also contrast,
as does the red and white, therefore the text is easily
read. The article headings are featured in a much larger
text than the article descriptions which shows the text
has been ordered as of importance of the information,
which draws the readers eyes to what is going to
persuade them to read the issue the most.
Background Image
The background image features a musician, probably in a
RockSound associated band, performing at a live event. The
background image uses a long shot however because of the
composition of the image it is still rather close up and
rather intimate. The background image, excluding the
artists top, upper body and hair uses dark, deep colours,
such as darker greens and dark greys. The background
image has also shaped and formatted the rest of the
contents page layout.
Article Photos
The article photos are positioned behind the page
number. The page numbers are featured in heavy, bold,
red writing which balances the attention rather than the
readers attention being solely focused on the images.
The photos are positioned in the area they area because
of the composition of the background image. There is a
reasonably blank space in the bottom left of the image,
which if not covered would probably waste the use of
paper and make the page look rather empty. There are 2
boxed photos surrounded by a thick white border. These
images stand out to the reader as they contrast to the
dark toned background. The 3 separated photographs
are positioned in rough cut outs on top of a white
mirrored background. These images stand alone and
creates the affect that the magazine is featuring a large
amount of articles. These images almost give the
impression that the contents page has been hand made.
This is due to the 3 bottom photos looking as if they’ve
been cut out and stuck on. This gives RockSound a
personal touch and implies a lot of work has gone into
making the magazine specifically for the reader.
Balance
The ratio of images to text is heavily favoured in images.
The balance stats are around 15% text and 85% images.
There is 1 main background image, 2 boxed images and 3
separate cut out images. The images take up the majority of
the page and the text itself is featured on top of the images.
This shows RockSound like to make as much use of the
space they have and that the magazine itself features more
imagery than long paragraphs of text.
9. Layout
This double page spread is shaped
around the background image. There
are two text box’s and 1 free standing
quote. The two textboxes are presented
in the bottom left and top right hand
corner and the quote is presented in the
bottom right hand corner of the page.
The page could be divided into thirds
with the first and last third featuring
text and the middle segment only
featuring the background image.
Fonts
The font used for the title and the quote
is a very squared, classic font. The font is
very heavy in terms of the weight. This
font represents the rock genre of the
band ‘Love Amongst Ruin’. The use of
this font gives the reader an indication
into the type of music the band
produce. The font used for the sub-title
is a similar shape however uses a
smaller size and has a very thin weight.
In terms of hierarchy the font used
draws the reader to the title and the
quote first. This may be created to give
the readers an idea straight away of
what the article is about. The quote,
which the reader should read first
alongside the title reflects on the lead
singer, Steve Hewitt, being back to a
place in which he can enjoy music again
however the sub-title is worded simply
as ‘THE BITTER END’. This contrast may
encourage the reader to carry on
reading as it almost suggests the Steve
Hewitt has been on a life changing
journey which has directly affected the
bands music.
Typography
In terms of leading and tracking, the two article style text box’s use very small spacing. The size of the font on both the
segments is very small and has a thin weight to it which also enables the small spacing to work well. The use of this technique
uses the space available in each textbox and makes the look appear finished, full and neat. This affect wouldn’t have as much
of an affect on the reader if the font was featured in a larger, bolder text with large spacing in the leading and tracking.
Compositon
The use of colour on this spread creates the whole feeling of this story. The colours used are deep and dark. The lighting
used is low key and creates a dingy atmosphere in the image. These tones and hues represent the rock genre of the band.
The most heavily used colour in this image is black, all band members are wearing this colour. The 2 band members with
black hair stand out more than the others due to the fact they are corresponding with their outfits, also due to their stance.
Main Imagery
The main image shows the 6 members
who were in the band at the time. The
image shows, due to the composition,
some of the members pictured in a long
shot and others pictured in a medium-
long shot. The photoshoot has been set in
an old fashioned, medieval style, church
like building. The image shows the rooms
grungy, stripped walls and large windows.
The image shows 3 of the 6 members
captured in a direct eye gaze shot, looking
directly into the camera. Their facial
expressions and arrangement almost
makes it look like they are all staring at
something in particular, this creates a
stronger connection to the reader than
most other direct eye gaze shots as it
creates more intimacy and intensity. The
image shows 5 of the members stood in
what can be analysed as unnatural
positions, for example the 5th member
along, from left to right, is hunching his
fists with his legs far apart. This makes
the band also look uncomfortable which
makes the reader want to know more
about why they are there and what it
might be that is affecting the ways they
are stood in the image. The 6th member
along is positioned in a chair. This also
creates a contrast with the rest of the
members as they are all stood in a similar
way. This highlights another reason in
which the reader would be encouraged to
read on to find out more.
Fact File
The fact file used on this spread is a
slightly unique feature for RockSound and
it gives the reader amusing facts.

11. Positioning and Composition
The Q logo is iconic and simplistic. It is unmistakeable for many to
guess what the magazine is as soon as you see it on a shelf. The Q
logo is the only feature on this page that largely breaks up the
background, completely focused on the feature story, the band
Muse. The three members of muse are all positioned in medium-
close up shots, with the lead singer looking directly towards the
reader. The positioning of the band members comes in front of the
logo, the logo is now the background when looking at the band.
This suggests Q always puts the artist's they work with before the
brand itself and that the readers getting the stories they want is
more important than the customers just buying the magazine for
the name ‘Q’.
Feature Headline and Main Image
The feature story for this issue is centred around the band Muse.
The whole front cover shows the reader exactly what the issue is
about, in a clear and bold way. Muse’ signature font is used to
display their name in large text which creates an even bigger
impression the reader will get the most out of this feature as
possible. ‘BOLDLY GO WHERE NO BAND HAS GONE BEFORE’
suggests this issue is offering something other magazines don’t
offer with their feature stories and that they will learn and read as
much information on the band as possible. ‘EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW’
is featured in black text in front of a, what connotes, as an
exquisite, royal shade of grey. This again highlights the point that Q
are offering almost a premium service compared to other
magazine brands, by giving their readers as much as they can. The
main image of the 3 band members is positioned on top of a galaxy
background. The blues and purples are reflected in the front
members’ eyes specifically, which ties the physical aspect of the
front cover together. The use of the galaxy, due to the pure scale of
it, suggests this issue contains a large amount of information. The
band members looking up at the stars almost suggests they will be
uncovering some secrets in this feature as the band are out of
space. ‘WHERE NO BAND HAS GONE BEFORE’ signifies the
importance of the image being set out of space.
Cover Lines
The front cover of this issue has positioned the 3 most
significant cover lines across the bottom of the cover. One of the
cover lines includes a ‘NATIONAL BLUR MONTH’. This feature
appeals to the slightly older average Q reader of 34 years age.
The issue features bands such as ‘The XX’ which will appear to a
slightly younger audience. The editor has used this diversity to
appeal to a wide range of readers. The cover lines are also
featured in a bold, heavy red and white text. This ties the cover
lines in with the rest of the front cover.
Plug
The use of the words ‘BONANZA!’ and ‘NEW’ create a
buzz about this certain feature of the front cover. The
feature is printed in bold white and black capitals on a
bright red background. This draws the reader in straight
away to this particular part of the cover as the only other
section featured on a red background is the Q title. This
suggests to the reader that this feature is significant in
this issue. The words used shows to the reader what Q
offer, a wide range of artists in every issue.
Content
The front cover offers features which include both extremely
popular, older artists and new and upcoming acts. This is signified
in stories such as ‘THE SOUND OF YOUNG LONDON GOES GLOBAL’
and ‘A SOUVENIR FOR YOU TO TREASURE’. This shows to possible
buyers of Q and current readers, the magazine is diverse and
covers all aspects of music.
Date, Price and Barcode
These 3 common components are featured in a small bright red
box in the bottom right hand corner of the front cover. This
particular issue is dated as October 2012 and priced at £3.99, an
average price for the UK music magazine market. The date and
price are presented in a very thin, classic font. This is very
straightforward and relates to the simplicity of the ‘Q’ logo. The
date, price and barcode are positioned in the red box next to a
plug for the issue. This differs from magazines as these 3
components are usually featured in a box by themselves, which
tends to draw the buyers attention. ‘ALBUMS BONANZA!’ is
positioned to the left of these, in which the editors have created
a very clever selling technique. The buyer will check to see the
price, and occasionally date of the magazine and will then see
the exclusive feature Q is offering, which is a new albums
bonanza article. This probably will suggest in the buyers heads
the issue is worth buying due to the exclusive content they will
receive.
12. Layout
This contents page is divided into 3 main columns. The first left
hand third features the most text. This third presents the page
numbers, article headlines and article descriptions. The second
third features 1 large long shot image. The third segment
shows images and magazine covers. This segment presents the
most imagery of all the contents page. A red rectangular box is
positioned along the top of the page which features the ‘Q’
logo, the ‘Contents’ title and the Issue number.
Branding and Article Features
The branding and main article features are presented in the
first third column. The branding is simple and uses the word
‘Q’ in the companies signature font. This reflects the layout of
branding on the Q front covers, it is simple and easy for a
buyer to spot exactly what they are looking at. ‘Q’ is shown in
the classic white font on top of a red background. This creates
a USP for Q magazine because their aesthetics are the same
across all platforms; magazine issues, websites, apps etc. A
title is positioned next to the logo, which reads ‘Contents’.
This is also very straight forward and again lets the reader
know exactly what they are reading. The title is shown in a
classic black, ‘Q’ style font. This contrasts to the red
background as well as the white logo, making it easy to read.
The hierarchy of the logo and title are amongst the largest
text on the page. This draws the readers attention in straight
away and ensures these 2 features are 2 of the first they’ll
read. The main article features are located underneath. The
‘FEATURES’ title is positioned in a red text box which creates
an easy to understand flow throughout the page rather than
the different segments featuring opposing colours. The first 2
article headlines feature a small image on the page. This is to
draw a slightly larger significance to these 2 stories as they
feature the most popular artists in this issue. The headlines
are underlined by a thick red line followed by a brief
description of the articles. This again ties the page together
due to the consistency of colours used. The article headlines
clearly show the reader the page number, making it as easy as
possible for them to use the magazine. The branding, title and
article headlines are all featured in this third segment to
provide the most informative information of the page. The
positioning of these features has enabled the editors to fill
the rest of the page with images etc. whilst also leaving some
white space making the page appear simplistic.
Main Image
The main image on this page shows Dave Grohl; Foo Fighters
frontman. Foo Fighters are the main feature headline for this
issue of Q. The main image shows Dave Grohl pictured in a
long shot, walking towards the camera with a guitar over his
shoulder. There is also a slight low angle technique used in this
image. These techniques make Dave Grohl appear to be very
large and powerful. This relates to the small image of the front
cover featured next to this image which shows his mouth open
with fire alongside the headline ‘THIS WILL KILL ME’. This
makes Dave Grohl appear again, as in the front cover, powerful
and almost undefeatable. This gives the reader the idea that
Foo Fighters will bare all in this interview and the height and
power Dave Grohl has in this picture, could reflect the size of
the news they are giving in this interview. The use of a guitar,
featured so closely to him in this image suggests the idea that
‘Q’ is all about the music. This persuades readers to turn
straight to this feature as they are going to receive what Q
readers like to read the most about; music itself rather than
gimmicks etc. Dave Grohl is shown wearing a red t-shirt, black
jeans and black and white trainers. This pulls in every aspect of
the page so well as the colour scheme is represented in this
image of Dave Grohl. The position he is featured in, right in the
centre, shows the importance Foo Fighters have in this issue.
The page number ‘72’ is featured in large letters next to the
image. In terms of hierarchy of the page, this is the largest text
shown. This draws the readers attention to this page straight
away, really enhancing the feature story. The main image itself
provides a central point for this contents page and draws the
readers in straight away due to the classic feel the page gives.
Sub Images
The smaller images featured in the right segment of the page
show previews of several pages in the magazine. This gives
the reader a good all round indication to the issue.
13. Font
The fonts used on this spread are the same
throughout however there is a range of
different sizing techniques. The font used is
a very feminine like font. It is squared and
is a slightly more traditional version to the
Lana Del Rey’s signature font, used on her
albums etc. This is to signify who the
feature is about. Lana Del Rey is known for
being a very elegant musician, the font
used reflects her character. The font used
in the first 3 paragraphs is a reasonably
small to medium font, in which if this was
the only size used for all the text, a lot of
the page would be taken up. The font size
used in the rest of the feature is of a much
smaller size. The size is slightly smaller than
what would be used in a traditional British
newspaper, this shows the page itself has
been used well and this specific feature
contains a lot of information for the
reader.
Exaggerated Letter Forms
There are 2 large letters used on this spread.
A letter ‘S’ takes up the majority of the right
hand page. The ‘S’ is assumed to signify the
starting letter, which is ‘she’, of the first
paragraph. This letter draws attention to the
text straight away and as there is a little
confusion as to what the letter actually
represents, it urges the reader to carry on
reading the article to find out. The letter has
been positioned to the back of the text box
which increases the appearance of it’s size.
The large letter has increased the amount of
white space to the top of the right hand
page, this makes the page as a whole look
more simplistic and modern. The letter ‘A’ is
used at the start of the 11th paragraph. This
letter uses a slanted, larger sized font. These
letter forms draw attention to the article text
and make the presentation of the double
page spread slightly more aesthetically
pleasing.
House Style
The large letter forms are a technique used
in most, if not every, Q feature article double
page spread. The largest ‘S’ is changed
depending on the name of the artist or the
starting letter of the first paragraph, for
example, in Jay Z’s October 2010 issue, one
of his dedicated double page spread’s
showed a large red letter ‘J’, signifying his
name, just like the letter ‘S’ in this issue.
Another similar house style feature is the
bottom banner stretched across the spread.
This banner features the logo, page
numbering, issue date and usually a plug for
the brand, such as a Q web address. This
same banner is featured in every Q issue, on
every page. Even the page numbering is
printed in a white font on a black box which
is used in every issue also.
Main Image
The main image shows Lana Del Rey in an
intimate, close-up shot. The image alone
takes up the left side A4 page. The size and
shot of the image add to the simplicity
created on the right hand page as the
pages aren’t crammed with over the top,
overpowering images. Lana Del Rey is
captured in a non-direct eye gaze shot. This
enhances the intimacy of the photo alone,
as it shows Lana Del Rey as a whole
captivates the readers without direct eye
gaze. Her eyes are also closed which adds
to the intimacy even more and creates a
sense of uncertainty as, although we can
work it out, it isn’t perfectly clear who the
image is of. Lana is digging her nails into
her neck which indicates to the reader a
sense of danger and urgency.
Colour
On the main image of Lana Del Rey there is a red light reflected on her right hand side which shows danger, pain
and blood which adds a feel of sultry to the image. The blues and purples on her left hand side represent
tranquillity, coldness, femininity and romance. These colours contrast to the reds in terms of the coolness it
brings to the warm tones. The colours used in the rest of the spread feature a classic white and black.
Typography
In the first 3 paragraphs the leading and tracking gives a reasonable amount of space. The words are separated
slightly wider than text in most double page spreads, this may be due to the larger font size. On the rest of the
paragraphs, featured in a much smaller text, the leading and tracking gives a tiny amount of space and is
distributed evenly. This technique means even the smaller text is easy for the reader to read.
