For this double page spread they have used worldwide known
current music artists Florence Welch. They have put her in the position she is
because it shows her whole body, she is also looking directly at the reader
which makes the reader feel as if she is included within the magazine that she’s
giving her eye contact. They have used a plain white background this is so no
background image interferes with the artist. She is also a big feature because
she is overlaying the text which shows she’s the main image of the page and
that focus should be mainly kept on her not the text. They have propped her up
on steps to show that she is the main feature of the magazine. The steps are
clearly covered with American colours, the US flag which gives the reader an
idea of what the article might be about before actually reading the article,
she is wearing all black to keep the reader focused on her and not what she’s
wearing, it also makes her hair stand out which is because it’s her trademark. The colours throughout the double page spread
remained the same, the red is only used for the flag but is connected to the
biggest front on the page which is ‘USA` she has used the red because its amerces
colour, the black is used because it goes with what she is wearing, it is also
used to make it less crowded, it’s quite a simple double page but effective at
the same time because it’s clear what it’s about through the colours. The text
is used well with two different large fonts for both ‘USA` and ‘Got the love`. The
biggest text is to inform and give a clue to the reader what they might be
reading about in the article. The flowy text could also connect to the type of
music she is known to do, as she does quite elegant ballad or fast songs which
goes with the flow of the text for ‘Got the love` which is also part of the
lyrics for one of her best-selling songs, this could be seen as advertising her
new song because its including the lyrics it also shows that her new song could
be included into the article and that she may be talking about it. The change
of font colour might be seen as being changed to show which text is more
relevant and more important. The double page spread itself is quite simple because
it only uses one main wide angle image taking up one whole of a page.
I like this article as it interests me, it’s appealing to anyone who’s into Rihanna or Rita ora and anyone who’s also into fashion. The style of the magazine is nothing special but it could be worse, as the colours used are quite dull but at the same time they stand out. The story interests me the most out of the layout content and story as I love fashion and so something like this appeals to me, I like the fact that the article shows you the similar outfits in 4 different outfits. The story would also appeal to the target audience as it’s about fashion so would appeal to anyone who likes fashion. It would also appeal to either of the artist’s fans, anyone who’s into either of their fashion styles or anyone who’s into their music I think the writing on this article could be slightly bigger as it’s quite small, I like how the website has the most recent news on the page that’s being read. I think the sizes of the images are a good size as they don’t take up everything on the page but they’re not too small that they’re not noticeable. Anyone reading this would more than likely be a female as it’s about style to do with Rihanna and Rita Ora who are more female aimed. When I do my music magazine I will take in consideration the fact that they have used the recent story from that day and put it on their magazine which I will do. I will make my writing slightly bigger than this article and I will make sure it’s used bright colours to attract the target audience.
