Double-page spread analysis two

Denotation: This double-page spread is about Adele who is a 21 year old pop music singer, these article was realised in 2012. The colour theme is black, grey and white. There is a close up of Adele which fills up the space on the right and runs over onto the left half of the article. The title fills up the top half of the left page and is in a bold black font, underneath is a short introduction to the article and under the introduction is a line which is underlined with a black line which separates that to the actual article. Connotation: The article says 'Women who rock 2012' which suggests that this is a regular article because Adele is only one woman where as women means there should be more than one, which may make the reader buy the following weeks magazine to find out the next woman who rocks 2012. This magazines targeted audience is twenty to thirty year old women which can be seen with the use of colour scheme which is white, grey and black as it makes it more professional which can also give it a feeling that it's an old newspaper looking even though it is a pop music article which is normally in bright colour when it is aimed at under twenty year olds. The use of the drop cap draws the reader's attention towards the body text, to make them want to read it. The use of Serif Sans font makes this article look professional and elegant which matches the rest of this double page spread. The photo of Adele is a close up which is of her face, which fills up over half of the double page which makes her stand out, but due to the black and white colours used it does not make her seem as flashy and bold in the readers face. The white light shining on half of Adele's face makes her stand out from the rest of the page it also makes her eye makeup and eyebrows stand out which gives her the elegant look, her lips are closed and she is looking away from the reader so the image doesn't seem like she isn't bright and bold, and in their face reinforcing the elegant look, it also makes her look like she is thinking and maybe even caught off guard but she still looks nice. Although her hair contrasts against her non-bright and non-bold face because it shows that she does have power and a powerful voice and is not plain and boring. The use of the kicker continues to capture the reader's attention to encourage them to read the article from reading the title, then to the kicker and finally to reading the main body text, each one using a smaller font and more information leading up to the main body.
