Analysing Two page spread

Layout: the most space which is taken is of the image of Florence Welch. This is given importance as the written content text is written about Florence Welch and this has information about her so a large image of her is used to fill in most of the space to attract the audience into reading this as this makes the audience want to read it as she is well known and people would like to know when they see her as she is has taken up to half the space on the double page spread. This attracts the audience as it is very big and catches their eye to want to read about her.

Image: there is only one image on the page which is of Florence Welch as this is a very large image. This image relates to the written content as the text written is about Florence and her latest news and her stories which make it interesting for the reader as they know Florence for her music. The image is framed around Florence sitting on some sort of table with a sheet on top which is coloured red and white matching Florence. She is wearing a black short dress suit that with black high heels and she has one leg on the half the table and one on the floor as she is posing towards the audience. She has bright tangy orange hair with light orange lipstick and black eyeliner on her eyes; she also is wearing black nail varnish. The props that are being used are the stool table with a big sheet cloth to cover the table so it doesn’t exactly show what is under the sheet. All this make up and clothes show us the fashion of R&B music as they wear trendy fashionable clothing and the colour black shows the audience attitude of R&B singers as they are showing R&B music is very important and by the clothes he is wearing, she represents R&B music. The colours mainly have been used are Red, black and white as this shows its sort of a happy mood and its making the audience feel there is something mysterious about the two page spread and these colours represent a happy mood. The image relates to the target audience as the image is for R&B music and R&B have all sorts of fashion and love to be stylish and Florence is showing that.

Language: the language which is being used is a rhetorical question as to make the audience think but this is a question which cannot be answered as it is rhetorical. They try and make it interesting by using the question as this makes the audience not just think but also want to read more of the magazine as this makes them interested. The language is not formal but its a little `slang` used as when they are writing a quick start heading which makes the audience want to read it. The language which is used is straight forward but is a little confusing as it makes us think that what is happening with one of the artists. The language which is used is very detailed and quite entertaining. This makes the R&B music magazine look even better as the text is interesting and stands out to the audience. The language gets the audience’s attention as it isn’t boring and too formal as then the audience would be too bored and wouldn’t like to read on.

Genre: the genre is R&B music as Florence Welch sings R&B songs which show she is representing R&B music. She is wearing the latest and fashionable clothes which make the audience think that this is what the latest artists which are women are starting to wear. The audience recognise it is R&B music magazine as by her clothing and her face expression as she is showing attitude in which R&B artists show a lot of attitude when it comes to music and she is well known so all her fans must know it’s an R&B magazine.
