First double page spread anaylsis

FIRST DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

-Masthead: The Masthead of this page being 'The Gospel according to 'Nicki Minaj' covers the entirety of the double page. In this there is the use for two different fonts  in order to stand out to the audience. The artists name is in a simple, bold font which is a darker pink than the background to yet again stand out, where as the lettering on top of this looks like its hand written.

-Style: The overall style of this double page is vibrant and exciting, its created by the bold image used in contrast with the bright colours. This spread is taken NME magazine which is not usually known for this mainstream pop artists, making the style of this magazine different from the rest of NME's magazines,which could put its familiar audience off. The first letter of the start of the writing at the bottom left shows where the article starts otherwise it would be unclear due to the writing filling all sections of the article.

-The Target Audience: The main audience of the double page spread of this magazine is aimed at a much younger demographic audience and mainly gets girls attention in this one magazine ,these people would most likely listen to Nicki Minaj.


-Main image: There is the bold ,clear and fun image of Nicki Minaj has been included, this clearly represents the 'Pop' genre of the music being featured in this article. The artist is wearing black and white clothes contrasting with the bright background and pairing with all the statement black writing, she is also wearing a vibrant pink lipstick complementing the pink background showing her involvement in the magazine without blending into the double spread. The artist is also wearing bold, unique costume jewellery this highlights her style and her exciting tone to the page. The image also has direct mode of address towards the reader, which would entice the reader and creates a dramatic tone and uniqueness to the picture.

-Text content: The layout of this double spread has many different sections, each discussing a different topic. This is most likely to appeal to a younger age range. As they ill not want to read large amounts of text. The certain quote in the magazine have been pulled out of the article and have been made bigger in font and light lighted this attracts the reader to read that certain part of the article where as if it was small people wouldn't notice it and read on, this is a good tactic to keep the reader interested.

-Colour Scheme: The main colours of this double page, are pink, black and white. The pink gives the page an extremely girly and female look unlike the other NME magazines ,this would certainly attract this stereotypical audience, who are interested in this particular artists music and style, This is  mostly set for the 'pop music' genre of music, The black and pink contrasts  well with each other and allows all the text to stand out.

-Design: The design of this magazine double spread is informal, but gives a fun exciting outlook. Even though the text is structured effectively there is also no balance and the image is placed more to the right changing the position of the text creatively.
