The document summarizes key elements of a magazine article. It notes that the main image features the popular rap artist Wiz Khalifa, who matches the magazine's genre. Part of the magazine title is covered by the image, implying it is recognizable to its target audience. The background uses bright colors that could represent the artist's personality or make the magazine look busy. On interior pages, a different image of Wiz Khalifa is enlarged to a full page as expected, and the title "Fade To Black" suggests things may not be going well for his career compared to the cover line "Is This The Top?".
2. Main Image
Firstly, we can evidently view the main image.
The main image is the largest item on the
front cover of ‘The Source’ magazine article. I
believe that this image is large as the artist
(Wiz Khalifa) is popular with the aimed target
audience of this magazine. Also, the individual
artist perfectly matches the genre of the
magazine which is rap, this will hopefully
intrigue the target audience to purchase the
magazine and carry on reading more.
3. Main Title
Moving on to the main title, we notice that part
of the title has been covered up by the main
image. When a magazine does this, it usually
implies that it is popular and will still be
recognized by its target audience whether
partly covered up or not. Also, in the middle of
the letter ‘O’ in the word ‘Source’ we can see
the empty space has been replaced with an
icon of a micro-phone. This reinforces the fact
that it’s a music magazine.
4. Background
The background has a use of multiple bright
colours. Using these colours could connote
the artists personality which could possibly be
bright, bubbly and exciting. However, the use
of colours could also have been used to make
the magazine look more busy.
5. Main Image
On the double page spread the same
artist has been used that was on the front
cover. However, even though it is the
same person it is a different image. It was
to be expected that this artist would be on
the double page spread as he was
enlarged on the front cover. Also, for his
image it has also been enlarged and put
onto a full page.
6. Main Title
The main title states ‘Fade To Black’.
Going back to the front cover the cover
line states ‘ Is This The Top?’ whereas on
the double page spread it quotes ‘Fade To
Black’. This could connote that things are
not going to the top for the individual artist
‘Wiz Khalifa’.
7. Main Title
The main title states ‘Fade To Black’.
Going back to the front cover the cover
line states ‘ Is This The Top?’ whereas on
the double page spread it quotes ‘Fade To
Black’. This could connote that things are
not going to the top for the individual artist
‘Wiz Khalifa’.
