1. The double page spread is
based on the rap artist JAY
– Z. The main image is close
up of his face, he is wearing
sunglasses as this goes with
his image. He is still very
recognisable to the
audience as he is a well
known artist in the music
industry. He is wearing all
black which goes well with
the colour scheme of the
page. The main two colours
used are Red white and
black. The main image has
also been tinted in red to
exaggerate on the colour
scheme. This main image
would instantly attract to
JAY – Z’s large fan base,
which would attract a wider
target audience. There is
quote in the bottom right
corner in a bright red font.
This would attract the
reader as it is the only
writing on the image, it
would also inspire the
readers. There is a big J
printed in red, placed
directly behind the text to
represent the artist. It draws
direct attention to the text
off the page which would
then take the attention of
the main image.
The text is in small black
writing however it stands out
as it is placed against a plain
white background. At the
start of each main
paragraph the first letter is in
a much bigger font and is in
bold. This is to emphasise
where a new paragraph is
starting and where the topic
may change. The artists
name is placed at the top of
the page in red font so that
anyone who was unsure of
who the artist was could still
find out. This could help to
create more fans as they are
informing the readers on the
artist. The date and website
are placed at the bottom of
the page, they are in small
font so that they don’t take
the attention of the main
purpose of the double page
spread. However they are still
important so must be
included. The date will help
collectors to find out which
issues of the magazine they
do have and which ones
they don’t. The website is
helpful because if the
audience are interested in
the article, the website is
where they can find out
more details.
