-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.
