Analysing double page



Layout: the most space which is taken is the text and the image which takes a large amount of space. From the double sided page, there are images across the pages.  The images are given importance as they are represented to show the R&B magazine and each of the small images placed across the two pages are showing different sort of poses of Solagne Knowles who is Beyonces sister who has released so many albums in a year and represents R&B music so much. The magazine makes the audience think that this is a very fashionable magazine that brings different sort of style in R&B music and makes them think this is a trendy and popular which makes them want to read it as the writer makes it look interesting.

Image: there are many images on the page, there is one image in particular which is big and is the one who has colour. This relates to the written content as the image is of Solagne Knowles who is Beyonces sister and the two side written contents talks about her albums she has made in one year for R&B music and this shows her success. The big image of Solagne Knowles is framed on the second page which is enlarged and is quite big and covers half of the second page. This has an effect as it shows that she is related to what they written contents says which makes the audience want to read the written content after seeing the image of Solagne Knowles. She is wearing a red dress with a blue mini waist jacket which stands out as these are the only colours that are bright and the rest is quite dull and doesn't make it seem as if it is important. She is wearing purple high heels with the clothes and this represents that she is being fashionable and trendy with the clothing she has on. The images which are across the two sided pages are of Solagne Knowles who is modelling and doing different sort of poses which suggests that she is a fashionable person and this also makes it look creative as there is one image from all that is standing out and the rest are just set as background which stand  out. The image relates to the target audience as this is aimed at teenagers who are the main target audience who listen to R&B music most of the time and enjoy their life listening to music of R&B and reading these sorts of magazines. The magazine shows us that this is aimed at teenagers as young female teenage girl’s love fashion and latest expensive clothing and this image shows us that Solagne Knowles is very fashionable and makes them want to read this magazine.

Language: there is lots of use of language where the writer has written ‘’forget her sister. The outspoken Solagne Knowles created one of the year’s best R&B albums`` which is a sub heading before writing about it. This has an effect as it shows that the writers tells an overview of what the content text says about Solagne Knowles and this makes the readers want to read this content text as it tells the audience she has released one of the best R&B albums which makes them feel interested about this and read more about it. The way the sub heading has been written isn't formal as the language used is quite slang as it gets straight to the point by saying writing the content text in a ‘slang’ sort of way which is writing opposite to formal. The text links to the images as the sub heading talks about Solagne Knowles who is the main image of the two pages. The type of face which has been used is of the Solagne Knowles who is posing and making a straight face to the audience which makes her look innocent and fashionable. This gets the audience attention as she straight looking at the audience and showing she is an important person.

Genre: the genre of the magazine is shown through the images as it shows this is a fashionable, stylist and trendy magazine which represents R&B music doesn't just show music but also has fashion involved and has a variety of things involved.
