TEXTUAL ANAZLYSIS ON A DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD!

              Textual Analysis of a Double Page Spread!



The main colour scheme of this page is pink, yellow, blue and white sigh pink being the most dominant colour to appeal to young girls. The blue don't on the left hand side of the page links both of the pages together due to the artist wearing the same colour for his suit. The blue of his suit and font may also resemble the artists masculinity. The artist is wearing a smart suit with sunglasses which is an unusual style but shows the uniqueness and edginess of the artist. The interview is set out in 11 separate areas with a subheading of the question the editor/ interviewer is asking the artist so that the reader can choose to read the answers to the ones they are most interested in. The whole right hand side of the page is taken up by a large images of the artist so that the reader can see who the article is about without even starting to read the article, however the writing to picture ratio is around 50:50. The pull quotes are used throughout the article to emphasise the important and interesting parts of the text so the reader is more likely to reader the whole of the article. The words 'exclusive interview' at the top of the page make the reader think that they haven't read anything like it before and that they will actually see what the artist is like because it is a personal interview with them. The smaller image of the artist and his mother helps to make the article very personal to the artist. The advertisement at the bottom of the page helps to promote the main artist even moe so that of the reading about the artist they can know when his new single is released and download it.
