Double page deconstructions


The use of a full image makes the audience drawn to the artists and makes it obvious who the article is about as it’s hard not to notice who it’s about when a full page is used and is right next to the article.
The sub-heading ‘how high’ is an illustration of the smoke coming out of the artists mouth and paints and image of the artist in the readers head about what the artist likes to do in his free time. Underneath the sub-heading is a strapline and this just gives an introduction about the artist and what the article is about.

The use of a few colours (black, white and yellow) is because of a few things. One might be because the artist is wearing a black and yellow cap and that’s why the main coverline is in them colours. The second is his song (black and yellow) so it is a play on words by using them colours also normally artists are related to black and white as there very bland colours that can be used all the time.

The double page spread is quite evenly split it is photo and word led as the image will relate the whole article and you can relate things within the image to the article and words within the article to the image.
 

There are only 3 columns within the article the first is a introduction about the artist and what he is about. The second is about his autobiography and some major honours he has won. The third is a summary of the article and puts the artist and his life into perspective.
The use of only a few colours as well makes it not to stand out a lot as it will draw attention away from the artrist and the article. The use of red in his name and on his shoes shows passion and that he may have a fiery personality. The blue represents calmness and this contradicts with the red but this could be because the fact he has to personalitites (slim shady and eminem.) The red would represent slim shady who is an angry type of person who does all the wrong things but shows passion where as the blue represents eminem who is the cool headed of the two personalitites.
The image is one image and is the background for the full article and is also a full body image. They have just used a shadow to make the writing stand out and have placed the writing around is foot to ba able to use the full image
 
The use of a full image will draw the attention to the image and will make it obvious who it is about. The picture is also provacative and will interest readers to read the article to find out what the picture is about. The use of a balck and white picture is to keep the number of colours used to a minimum so that there is not a overpower of colours within the article.
The use of the big letter L and with is in red may apply to her personality and that she is a fiesty character and will intrigue the reader into reading the article to try find out how she may have a fiesty personality.
the use of 3 columns means that that the article is obviously planned and seperated into certain points about her life, career and her pasat and future. Also it will break it up into a few paragraphs so that it is easier on the eye and better to read.

  1. Kayne, you have deconstructed three double page spreads, making reference to layout, text and images, identifying possible connotations, and employing some key media terminology.
