Music double page spread analysis

1. Artist looking directly at
you which may suggest
she wants to connect
with the audience,
especially her fans.
Beyoncé comes across as
fierce. This makes the
audience see her as a
strong, aggressive,
independent woman,
which could be what she
wants us to think.
Image of artist takes
over 1 whole page of
the double page spread
which suggests that the
artist is the main centre
of attention. This makes
it more attractive and
appealing.
The title links to image, the title says
‘fiercely’ and Beyoncé's make up is
fierce. This shows the artists
personality which attracts her fans.
The subheading is
showing the readers
what might be
included in the
magazine which will
interest the reader to
read this section.
The background
colour is purple
matching the colour
scheme, purple,
white and grey,
which are plain, dull
colours which could
suggest the mood of
the text.
Beyoncé's make up links to the colour scheme, grey eye make up; the
same colour as the background her picture has been photoshoped on.
Her hair also links to the title, the idea of being ‘fierce’.
This links to RnB music because the artist
is well known, the word ‘fiercely’
represents the music genre, it also
represents all the women in the RnB
music industry.

2. Picture of drake
takes up a whole
page of the
double spread
which states that
the attention is on
the artist. He is
looking directly at
the audience,
which suggest he
wants to connect
with his fans.
The headline is the same font
his album title is in which
attracts his fans.
Subtitle informs us
what is going to be
in the article, its
written in small italic
writing, separate
from the rest. The
typography of the
text makes it clear
it’s the subtitle.
Quote interests the
reader as its
personal, its directly
from drake which
also suggests what is
going to be in the
article which makes it
more interesting.
The background for the first page is white, which boring
which makes the text and title stand out more. Black
and gold stand out on white which is appealing.
Drakes facial expressions
looks serious, which
could reflect the mood
of the text. This could
also mean that he wants
the reader the think he
is serious and takes his
carrier serious, it makes
him come across as
hardworking and
passionate about his
music, it seems like it
means a lot to him;
which could be his aim.
This links to RnB music genre as its
drake who is well known. The gold and
black text is typical RnB colours which
will attract RnB fans.

3. The artists name is spread out across two pages in
large bold writing. Its red on white which stands out
and is appealing. It also fits in with the theme, its
written on a wall and the artist is sitting on the floor
leaning on the wall to create sort of a street/gothic
theme; which is not only attractive to her fans but
also to young people.
The subtitle of each
section is written in
different colour to
the text, black and
red in a white text
box following the
colour scheme.
Rita is sitting down casually,
looking at the audience. It
doesn't look like she is forcing
posing for the camera which
may suggest she doesn't care
about the fame, however its
contradicting because she is
leaning on a wall with her
name written in bold on. She
gives the impression by sitting
on the floor by herself that she
is laid back and careless,
however one could argue that
it could present her as being
lonely, strong, has a lot on her
mind.
The colour scheme creates a tense
full atmosphere which could
reflect the mood of the text.
This links to RnB music because its laid
back, there isn’t too much text and the
attention and main focus is on the artist.
The artist is well known as for the genre of
music. This wont only attract Rita Ora fans
but also RnB fans.

4. Picture of artist takes
up a whole one page of
the double page
spread, which states
that the attention is on
them. She is looking
directly at the
audience, which
suggests she wants
direct contact with her
fans.
She is holding a
speaker in her hand
which could suggest
she wants to speak to
her fans, she wants
them to hear her.
The two pages are very different and do not match each
other, the first page has a black background, very bling,
fierce, a sense of attitude; and the second page is dull,
boring, and a typical article.
The artist’s name is in
a larger font than the
rest of text which
immediately tells us
its about her. The
subtitle is written in a
smaller but bolder
font. The rest of the
text is written in small
text, which bolder
titles to separate the
sections making it
clearer.
This links to the RnB music genre, because its Rihanna. The way
she presents herself and dresses, for example the red hair and
glittery tops, all goes with the RnB theme.
