Analysis
With this fanzine article I was more creative and I
didn’t use any grids so I could be more flexible with
where I placed everything. Just from looking at the
title you can tell I have broken the rules as there is no
baseline, it is on three different levels. The two
images at the top represent the clothing brand of
Pharrell Williams who I mention in the article so they
are showing his clothing brand. The bottom left is
also related to Pharrell Williams as that is his brands
logo. The bottom left image is the founder of the
group Odd Future who I also mention it the article.
The image at the side of the text are blobs and stars
to make the article look more interesting and attract
more attention just like what the other little images
are supposed to do. The whole background image is
there to add a bit more detail and depth into the page
and make it look a bit more interesting. I wanted the
text to look as neat as it can so I didn’t place any of
the images or the pull quote in the text. I used the
blob at the sides of the text to be inline with the text
so there wasn’t too much dead space. I used the
graffiti images to relate to the hip hop theme and also
to make it symmetrical on each side.
Analysis 2
This fanzine article is a bit more basic as the
background has quite a lot of dead space but it looks
good as it is all spread out. Also there are less blobs
and stars. The writing starts in a different place to
make it look quite different how the first paragraph is
above the Header. The background graffiti
represents the hip hop theme because graffiti is
related to hip hop. I made the background out of
graffiti image I got of the internet and cut parts out
of them. The blobs and stars are the same from my
other article which are brand logos. The text is all
laid out in paragraphs on a base-line. There is also
no pull quote because I think it would make the
whole page look unbalanced. I used a white box
around the text to make it easier to read so it does
not overlap the graffiti background. I added images
next to each piece of text to make it even and
balanced. The big header stands out the most so
even though the first paragraph is above the header
it still stands out enough for people to notice it. I
made the background colour and graffiti more
transparent to help the text stand out more.
Analysis 3
This is the most urban looking fanzine because of the
background and the Headers font. It is a bit more
eye catching with the background and reverse copy.
The header is also coloured to also draw attention to
it. I have still included the little shapes from the
graffiti image to make it look a bit more detailed. I
also included some blobs and stars of the brand logo
and a cartoon version of a brand owner. I used the
reverse copy technique to make the text box stand
out and make the text more visible. The colours in
this page are a lot more visible and there are also
more colours that my second page so it helps it stand
out more. The camouflage background relates to the
hip hop theme as it is known to be quite a hip
hop/gangster trend, for example baggy camouflage
tops or trousers. The header font is a lot less formal
than my previous pages I have made and I think this
one fits in with the hip hop theme the most. I used
another image to put over the camouflage image to
give it a sort of muddy dirt look to make it look
rugged and raw.
