Main Task:Double Page Spread Textual Analysis




Colour Scheme: This magazine double page spread has quite a simple colour scheme; it has a clear white background giving it a classy pure look to it. There is very little colour and the colours which are being used are bright summery colours such as green,blue,orange etc. They alsp bring out the colours from T.I’s shirt.

Image: On the left hand side of the double page spread is an image of T.I (a famous singer/rapper) the picture is a mid shot .The image does not carry to the right hand side of the page. There is no text placed over the top of the image.

Strap-line: There is not much of a strap line on the double page spread but there is a green circle which explains his success.

Columns: It is clear that there are only two columns in the double page spread, but the first paragraph has been written out normally with no columns.

Subject Name: in this case the subject name is T.I because the double page spread is about him .His name has been put in the title of the article so it stands out nicely.

By-Line: Under the Headline in a smaller font the name of the photographer is credited for the image and the name of the journalist is also written as a way of identifying what it is that they have done.

Headline: The headline is a basic font but a large plain but stylish font that will attract an audience of all ages to read, but especially music lovers. The headline is a pun because it has been played around with. The headline has been placed at the top/middle of the page.

Stand-first: The stand first is a short paragraph introduction that summaries and introduces the article. The font is bigger in size than the main text .There are little blue squares that identify were a new point is being made.

Mise En Scene

NVC: His non-verbal communication Seems relaxed.His arms are spread out this may connote that he is a bird because birds spread there wings out in order to fly and also his head is tilted to the side .His facial expression demonstrates that he is relaxed and comfortable ,T.I is not smiling but he has a grin on his face.

Costume: The Costume in this double page spread appears to be everyday wear. The checked shirt brings the other colours together. The look that the magazine wants is a smart but casual look and to do this they made him wear a white t-shirt(casual) checked shirt(smart) and some shorts(causal).

Lighting: The lighting is high key lighting because it is bright (white).The background is white and because there is no background.


Setting: The setting is most likely to be in a studio because there is no background.

Anchorage: The type of font which has been used is sans serif because there are no flicks and curls in the font, so it may suggest that the font is more modern than serif fonts which are more old fashioned.
