Analysing Feature ArticlesBy Emily Gleeson
QLayout; The main image
is placed on the left hand side as its quite
erratic ,meaning if children are looking through and flicking
through magazines in shops ,usually people flip
through on the right hand side only being the right hand side first,so the image wont be on
show. The letter ‘L’ takes up most of the second
pages which is representing ‘lady’ yes the colour red represent the house colour scheme
of Q but could further represent her
contervesual personality and style.
Text; were presented with a variety of fonts to
represent different things. Firstly the main text we all look at is the extremely large ‘L’ in the middle of the page of the righting which represents
the first initials of Lady Gaga's name. so the
audience are instantly aware of who the article is about,as most people
would of bought the magazine for this double page spread. Secondly in
the top right corner of the seconded page is
Lady Gaga's name,represent in serif font making is less bold
but the Gaga word is represented in uppercase
to represent a higher importance,and when people flick the pages they will see the name Gaga and its an easier way to find the article.
Small Details; The page numbers are placed in a black box with white font to
be bold and say to know what page number your on. Secondly the ‘q’ is
placed in the same corner as the page number to keep implying how your
buying into the brand ‘q’ its everywhere and you feel like you've joined a family
when buying in Q.
Mode of address; Here were presented with informal address as of the controversial main image. Lady Gags is early makes and clearly
covered her breast with her hands with is extremely revealing and sexualises her instantly.
Here is direct address ,as she's starring int to camera possibly to seduce audaicne.
Images; The full bleed image of Lady Gaga represents her unique and quirky personality. Through the mies-en-scene of the image represents her and everything about her, her way of posing ,her makeup and minimal clothing. The chains help represent how she's trapped some how in her old character of Lady Gaga and wants to break free and have a fresh start in her career and personality. Throughout
the image were presented with Lady Gaga trying to impress us or draw the male audience in but being half naked and coving her breasts t0 seduce the audience. However her short blonde hair represents how she's relaxed and calm about her personality juxtaposing against her dramatic
makeup which includes dark smokey eyes showing she enjoys getting dolled up to attack people.
VibeLayout;On the left side their is a large side profile
of 'Soulja Boy' who's face/neck is covered in graffiti-style doodles,
making the image more artistic and representing his vibes and personality. Secondly the title of the article is very large and
central in the page, there is a lot of negative space
surrounding it which makes it stand out more to the reader furthermore the juxtaposition helps it be
eye catching for the audience. There is then a short phrase above the
article, engaging the reader to read further by
asking a question 'Can the king of Ringtones sell his tween following on the
more mature Soulja Boy?'. The writing is spaced out over two articles, with the first letter enlarged and in
the bold red colour.
Text; the main font on the article page represents a
graffiti style to the audience referring to his
background,status and personal life, A graffiti style font has been used which is
inkeeping with the style/theme of the artist.
Instantly we can understand what type of person he
is,and it refers to him being possibly disrespectful of other property and not
caring. The red shades in the text relate tho the red shades in his tatters to link
earthing together. The actual text and information on the page is represented
in tiny font again representing the less
importance compared to the image and large font. Swell
as this the name of the artist isn't represented only in the first 2 words of the actual weighting and its placed in red to make t
bolder but its not larger or very eye-catching ,making it
learn to the audience that its not an important aspect.
Small Details; The first letter of vibe is placed in the top right hand corner but it some how is blurred into the barcode to make it not stand out as much but blend
it.
Mode of address; The vibe you get front this article is the friendly mode of address, The tone is optimistic and comforting which is
represented through thee title ‘life of a shooting star’. and its also indirect address as
the image he's turned to the side,to really represent the graffiti.
Images; The full bleed image of Soulja boy represents ‘swag’ written all over his face , which is a visual representation of his personality and old and recent songs. The visual lettering is also overing his face ,representing that he's no so famous so they can cover his face with something else as his face isn't that noticeable and this creates it being
noticeable,people mainly recognise him for his name and not face. The white background helps make the image more noticeable and bold,and his red tattoos is presented in the
title and the colour scheme for his double page spread. the picture itself is surrounded by a white border, inkeeping with the white background of the right hand page.
StatusLayout; The image is bleeded over two
pages to make the image the most
important aspect. Furthermore the title is the most important
aspect of the page,being the
brightest thing which draws the audiences eyes in instantly. the contrevesual title of ‘sex,drugs and pop
music’ instantly draws people in, as their
quite offensive things to talk about for some
people and this represent that their
ingestive and do what they want. This also relates to the fact when your flicking through this eye catching title will
allow the reader to want to stop to this
page.
Text; The main font is made to look like the neon tubes of
coloured lights,which is a
usual visual aspect of the 1975 and
they are know for create great
visuality in their shows and album
cover, so this interesting title is
clearly supposed to reflect their music and their hole vibe in general. In small ‘the 1975’ is placed in the same shade of red as the main
tie,but placed underneath the title
within the paragraph of
information about them,the image is so noticeable that we don't need a
visual representation of
who they are we just automatically know
who they are as they are features of
the magazine so everyone should.
Small Details; The email address for the magazines website is
placed in white font onto of one of the band members jeans,which makes it stand out but its tiny so hardly noticeable,and next to that
is the page number.
Mode of address; You receive an in formal vibe from the expletive and contrevesual title, they way their
even studying represents an informal manor as their are relaxed , also informal clothing as Matty isn't
even wearing a shirt theirs a mixture of direct and indirect address.
Images; This image is represented in as ‘somebody else’ an ep they once did, and the colour scheme reflects their cd covers
and colour scheme of he band. Furthermore the type of posing is almost feminine in the way Matty is standing and leaning
against the other male member reflecting their opposite stereotypes to the music industry norm on boy bands.
