Subheading:: A Subheading Gives The

This document analyzes the layout and design of a magazine page featuring an article on a musician. It discusses several key elements: 1) The title at the top of the page is less dominant than the subheading below it due to font size, which may confuse viewers. 2) The subheading introduces the article topic and stands out as the first thing readers see, signaling this is an important exclusive story. 3) The large main image takes up the whole page to attract attention, focusing on the musician's props like his guitar to interest guitar fans. 4) Four supplemental images provide additional performance shots and showcase the musician's instruments to further engage readers interested in music.

Title: Situated at the top of the first page

this follows the codes and convention s


however it seems subordinate to the
subheading due to the less dominant font
and size so this may be confusing to the
viewer. The appearance of it is the same
as the contents title was on the
contents page I believe that this
demonstrates consistency and links up
the whole magazine. The main image
slightly obscures the bottom corner of
the title; this is effective as it highlights
the model as the news since he overlaps
it.
Subheading: A subheading gives the
reader a clue to what the following
article is about. This Subheading instantly
stands out; its the first thing the
audience would see. Evidently this is an
important and exclusive story that the
magazine want to highlight to the reader.
The subheading appears below the main
title which is an appropriate order which
makes sense and is easy to follow for the
viewer. Punctuation within the
subheading helps to further emphasise
and make this article a big deal as an
exclamation mark is used here. The
subheading itself is the name of a tour.
Main Image: The main image takes
up the whole page which
immediately makes it stand out as
the main image. It is a long shot
however the subheading obscures
the bottom half so that it appears as
a medium shot. Using a medium shot
here concentrates on his prop a
guitar and unusual accessories the
sailor like hat and his chain. The
expression of the model is a happy
one denoting he is enjoying himself
and his sets a positive tone to the
magazine. There is no direct address
used here as the magazine feels that
no pressure is needed for the reader
or involvement as the supporting
images offer that involvement for the
reader already.
Supplement Images: Four additional
images are on this double spread.
Three images are long shot images
where the costumes, props and mise
en scene is focused on and the
bottom right corner one is medium
shot where the Lemmy himself is
the focus. Three of additional images
show the band in action, performing
a gig this makes the audience feel like
theyre there. In all the images
instruments are shown off in
particular the guitar which appeals to
readers who favour the guitar. Direct
address isnt used in any of the
pictures which challenge convention
but enough interaction with the
reader is emitted so isnt required in
this case. The pictures are bordered
so the image stands out
Article:
Layout: The order goes: title,
main image, subheading,
supplement images, article
and more images. The article
itself is positioned into a
column structure whereby the
text is separated into three
columns. The rule of thirds is
being applied to this page and
so the codes and conventions
are being met. The order of
the features are appropriate
and occur in a sensible order
where the last element
manifests to the next e.g.
title before the subheading,
and subheading before the
article.
Colour scheme: Red, black,
white and yellow are still
identified as the colour
scheme through costumes
and the text colours
However, the more
dominant colours of these
pages are black and yellow
and white as the whole
background is black, the
majority of the article is
white and certain sentences
are yellow. This can be
because the main person of
interest is wearing these
colours and so the main
colours have been
manipulated to match him.
Font: About 4 to 5 different fonts are
used this is an appropriate amount
whereby interest is created but isnt
visually confusing. The article is injected
with a bolder, larger font this creates a
contrast and makes the article more
interesting as opposed to rows and rows
of text. The font is sophisticated and so
reaches out to an older target audience.
Article: The structure of the
article is question and answer as
this article is in the form of an
interview. The language of the
article at most times is informal
and has a comical tone and the
interviewer and the interviewee
tend to joke around. I felt like a
rocknroll pirate! this response
is highlighted and centred in the
middle of the article this is to
show the reader the fun, relaxed
tone of this article and persuade
them to read the article if they
havent already. The article
contains strong language which
denotes that the target audience
is teenagers and above.
