Double page spread
- 1. The main image on the double page spread has the person of interest facing the camera with their whole body facing directly at it. It is a medium shot showing from her hips upwards. The page follows a colour scheme of black and pink. The text has been set out in four columns across the page. The drop capital ‘W’ has been placed to the left of the double page spread showing where to start The headline of this article is ‘The gospel according to Nicki Minaj’. The first part of the headline ‘The gospel according to’ is written in black, bold font. And the ‘Nicki Minaj’ is written in bold, sharp, pink font. The strap-line of this issue is ‘Bow down mortals, the newly crowned Day-Glo queen of hip hop stands before you’ shows it’s a hip hop magazine as they seen her as royalty. The background is a simple, plain light pink colour. The artist is known for her favourite colour being pink; this may be to reflect her tastes. The pink adds to the feminine, youthful and beauty image we see from the font.
- 2. The text columns look tidy as they're all in black, having the pink, makes it stand out more The pink on the page makes it seem more feminist, as pink is a girly colour. There is different title breaks at the start of each column, makes it easier to read. The pictures are very similar, but plain. As its simple it stands out more. The text doesn’t look so text heavy. It looks light and easy to read. Having two picture so similar to each other makes it look really nice and professional
- 3. The only two colours used on the double page spread, this and as it is a grey theme these two colour really stand out bold. Her name is the only part of the text that in in a different colour, showing the importance. Also making it very eye-catchy The main image of her is in a bright dominant colour, also making it eyecatchy The smaller images of her, looks like she's dancing. These images are in black and white so it doesn’t take views of the main image. The smaller images makes her seem as a crazy, fun outgoing person by her poses, but the main image suggest that she is innocent. There is a lot of text but it is layered out so that it doesn't look as text heavy as it is. The same font is used for the main text, and the same for the pull quote and the introduction ‘NOW’ is the only other text that has colour.
