DOUBLE PAGE SPREADS

FLORENCE WELCH (FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE)

• Not many props have been

used on the spread, this

highlights the pages

sophisticated look. The

background text ‘USA’ gives

the page an American look.

The fact that the key image is on

one side of the spread suggests the

artists importance; that the article

is just about her.

The outfit the artist has decided to wear

is black. Black connotes strength and

power. Also, the artist is positioned in a

upward position, not slouched. This

implies that the artist shows

strength, determination and power in

her career.

The colour scheme is red, black, white

and grey. Black and red are described

as sexy, sophisticated and classy. So

these colours that have been used have

tried to give off that “sexy and

sophisticated” vibe.

The feature article that reads “got the

love” relates to the artist „Florence

Welch‟, also it allows people to be

familiar with the song, because it‟s

one of her most well known songs.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCEThe key image of the lead singer „Gerard

Way‟ being positioned on the left side

suggests that he‟s the most important, which

is why he has filled up the whole page

instead of his band mates.

The push quotes bold

lettering, makes its stand

out to the reader.

The layout of the spread looks all over

the place. The push quote in a slanted

position, the key image of the lead singer

with his hair shaken to the side. This

connotes their rock star image.

With the background being black

and the key image being gray, it

allows the image stand out more.

The text being in small print and

doesn‟t have much writing on it

suggests that it‟s not the main

focus on the spread.

The main image of the singer having his

head down makes him not seem posed

or artificial which adds to our sense of

them being gritty, raw and authentic - a

contrast to other more 'pop-orientated'

artists

SOLANGE KNOWLES

The fact that the artist has

decided to wear a red dress

suggests that she wants it to

stand out to the

readers/audience.

The continuous black and

white images of Knowles is eye

catching. Also, it demonstrates

her enthusiastic attitude.

The colour scheme being

grayscale, red and blue illustrates

it‟s wild but positive connotations

and that it stands out.

The feature article that reads

“forget her sister, the

outspoken SOLANGE

KNOWLES created one of

the year‟s best R&B albums”

implies that because everyone

is so familiar with singer

Beyonce Knowles, that they

have completely ignored her

successful sister. It also

suggests that Knowles is also

talented just like her sister.

The black and white theme looks a

bit retro which suggests her

class, elegance and wealth. It

connotes her classy image.

NICKI MINAJ

The costume Nicki

Minaj is wearing

demonstrates her wild

but appealing fashion

sense. It also suggests

what type of personality

she has.

The main image of Minaj is positioned on

the right side of the spread but goes over

the page to the left side, this highlights that

she is more important than the article it‟s

self. It challenges her importance.

Her name is in bold, it‟s pink and

positioned on the left side of the

spread. The fact that her name is pink

is linked in with her “ghetto barbie”

persona.

Her facial expression that

she is making is

something that her

fans/audience should be

familiar with, as she does

those expressions

frequently
