Research And planning: Double page spread anaylsis.

VIBE Double page spread.

Genre- The genre of this magazine double page spread is pop, I can tell this by by looking at the photograph. The image is of the main person in pop band 'Florence and the machine', she is the face of the band and is who does all of the promoting by doing TV appearances and magazine features.The colors suggest the pop genre as they are neutral based colors but with one fun and lively color. The attracting color of red and white give a fun 'lollypop' feel which look effective against the grey background. The fonts on the double page spread are simple and minimalistic as the main font is for the actual story. 

Representation- On this double page spread the artist is being represented as a young attractive female who is dominant and the most popular of the group she is from, the other members are just for backing and instrumental purposes which is why they are not usually invited to interviews. The female on the page is wearing a small black dress with black high heels, a simple outfit with an effect of looking sexy and attractive. The dress chosen has been used to hug her figure and let everyone know that she has a good body and is not afraid to show it. The attitude she appears to have is a non-expressive expression. Her body language suggests she is flaunting herself but with not real intentions, And her facial expression says the same thing, she has a slight pout showing no emotion or expression.

Audience- The target audience of this double page spread like the magazine is targeted at 16+ male and female. The whole vibe magazine has the same target audience throughout and keeps a consistent theme of strong artists who look good.

Media language- The shot type used is a long shot, this is because the whole of her body is visible to the audience and shows the potential movement of the artist. The colors used are general neutral colors, which are quite simple and minimalistic, but it looks effective with the contrasting color red. The colors shout for attention as the red flag is big and loud, this is to be eye catching while the reader is flicking through the magazine.The fonts are basic fonts with no extravagant font types, the are simple and to the point. The sizes of the fonts, for the title are large and eye catching, but the text for the actual story is small and to the side of the image. The clothes which the artist is wearing are black suggesting the intentional sexiness the magazine wants to show.

Layout-  For the double page spread the layout chosen is a straight forward one focusing mainly on the image.The text is out of the ay on the side in columns, the layout doesn't have much writing as the image is the main part of the double page.
