This double page is on the R&B artists The Black Eyed Peas. The fact that the lead

singer, will.i.am is the stand out figure which signifies that the article will be based

around him and he will be interviewed. This will either make the reader intrigued and

read on or turn away because they do not enjoy the styling's of The Black Eyed Peas.

Colour scheme:

The colour

scheme is basic

and simple. The

white

background

makes

everything else

look bold and

bright. In

particular

Will.I.Am stands

out due to him

being the only

one not of the

four band

members not to

be faded out

slightly.

Text: The large

writing “will he”

“won’t he” on the left

hand side of the

page stands out due

to its use of weird

font and selection of

colours. The use of

gold and blacks can

be associated with a

good or bad

decision. The fact

that “will he” is

coloured in gold

show the magazines

opinion on what he

should do therefore

showing bias. Also

“Will he” is a pun on

his name, will.i.am Image: The band itself wears respective and rich clothing so the

reader can see they are important and are significant. Will.I.am is

standing in the for front so the article is mainly going to be on him

and there maybe a small bit on the actual band

This is spread on a band from Mexico discussing swine flu. The band, The Mars Volta

have made a comment which is at the centre of the article. This shows it is of

significance and importance to the article.

Colour scheme:

The colour scheme

is basic and

doesn’t really catch

the eye much. The

pictures are in

colour which

makes them stand

out a little. But

mostly we see a

heavy influence of

black text on a

white background.

This makes the

text stand out and

easily readable

Text: The text as

I said with the

colour scheme

is black font with

a white

background

much like a

newspaper

article. The big

piece of text has

been displayed

as if cut from a

newspaper

article. Also the

fact it is

displayed like

this makes it

stand out and

increases it’s

importance

Main image and other images: the main image is off the two band members.

They look serious and strong. There body language is very masculine and

the one on the right displays dominance while the other one looks smug and

cocky. The background looks very derelict which shows they are just like us

and don’t live a life of luxury. The other pictures are significantly smaller and

just show the sights of Mexico and pictures related to the article

This spread is about R&B artist Beyoncé Knowles’s younger sister, Solange Knowles,

who is relatively unheard of. People will be shocked by the fact the magazine has

quoted that she has made one of the best R&B albums this year. This intrigues the

audience to know more about her and want to read the article.

Colour scheme: As

you can see it is

very basic colours,

blue and white, as

well as the grey

pictures in the

background. This

helps the main

image stand out

more as the

variation of colour

draws the eye to

her. This helps

promote the article

because the reader

has a need to find

out who she is and

why she is of such

significance

Text: the text looks

quite faint and in a

way delicate. This

may be a reference

to the singer who is

quite shy. The light

blue highlighting of

her name makes

the reader realise

who she is. Due to

her surname being

Knowles the reader

makes the

reference with

Beyoncé and then

the reader wants to

know more about

her. The bold, black

font next to her is a

quote which can

some up what she

is about without

reading the whole

article itself.

Main Image and Background Image: the main image of Solange is

big and bright due to the colours she is wearing. the red really

stands out on the page and draws the reader to look at it. The

background images are of her in different motions which can show

her different characters and emotions she has. The main one of

her looks like she is shy and timid.
