The document discusses the use of color schemes and imagery in a magazine spread. It analyzes how the dark makeup, clothing and styling of the celebrity contrasts with her light features to imply a dangerous side beneath the surface. Pink and black are used together to represent how a good girl has "gone bad" and suggest the genre is punk/rock. Black and white are also contrasted to represent negative and positive connotations. The dominant celebrity image and title font/colors are meant to attract readers and communicate the focus on a "wild child" celebrity.

1. The make up and costume used is very dark ,sharp and gothic which contrasts with the natural light skin colour
and stylish white hair. This could be used to imply the celebrity isn't all what she seems or is made out to be. For
example she presents herself as being pure, sweet and innocent with her hair and pure and natural light toned
colour. However the dark clothing, make up and roots imply the real her, the negative and dangerous side of her is
coming out. This features could possibly be used as a hint or clue to what will be revealed within the interview.
The colour scheme used within this double page spread is very unique as it doesn't always work well
together, however this time the colour scheme has been used effectively together to imply the music
genre of the magazine. From the colour scheme used you can tell the genre of the magazine is punk/rock
music, I know this because the colour pink being used with the colour black juxtaposes the original
connotations. It has been used in the sense that a good, pretty and clever girl(pink) has gone bad(black),
in this sense she could be referred to as a punk/rock princess.
Also the white and
black contrast
against each other
as they have very
opposite
connotations. Black
suggests evil,
danger and
negativity, where
as white suggests
innocence, purity
and positivity. The
designers have also
took the amount of
colour I used not
consideration. For
example there's
less white used
then black to imply
that the negativity
has taken over,
there's hardly any
hope left for this
girl being good.
The dominant image used is of a
celebrity to attract the target
audience, into wanting to read the
article as she is a popular and well
known actress .
The masthead used
is made up of two
words “Wild Child”
which are both
write in different
colours and fonts.
The word Child has
been printed in a
large font and
bolder writing and
in white to stand
out more against
the word
background to
suggest importance
to the word, that
after all she is still
just a child. Where
as the word “wild is
in a smaller font,
not in bold text and
doesn't stand out as
much against the
background.
Also the dominant image
fills up more than one of the
pages in the double page
spread to imply importance
and that she is the man
feature.
