Main Task: Double Paged Spread (Re-sit)

Denotation:

The double paged spread has a main image of a male smoking a cigar and on the other page has a paged filled with text. The bold letters being questions and plain text being the answers. 

Headline:

The headline of this article is a quote from the artist. This is a different way of doing a double paged spread which means that there is no real eye catching headline that stands out.

Character:

The character is looking away from the camera which shows his eyes are captured on something more important which could possibly be a female or a car etc. This all supports the stereotypes that hip hop artist pride themselves on the girls they have and the cars they own. He is also smoking a cigar which shows that he is wealthy which will attract a female audience. The cigar also suggests he has a high status because normally only powerful people in society smoke cigars. 

Composition:

A mid shot is used so we are able to clearly see the characters facial expression and what he is smoking. 

Costume:

The character is wearing a casual denim shirt, which is in fashion now. It is made by an expensive make 'G Star' which also shows that he is wealthy. His sleeves are rolled up so we can see the tattoos on his left arm which a lot of hip hop artist have and also we can see his big watch, which looks very expensive so again is another item that shows he has wealth.

NVC:

The NVC used by the character shows that he is extremely laid back. His facial expressions show that he is chilled out smoking on his cigar and it looks as if it is a daily routine to him and he does it regularly. 

Lighting:

High key lighting is used so that we are able to see what the character is doing clearly.

Setting:

It looks like the character is set in a studio with a white backdrop. Even though not much is shown we can still see the white in the background. 

Layout:

The layout of the double paged spread is very formal with the main image on the left side of a page and on the other page is text. Even though this page is heavily influenced by text it is still quite eye catching and the layout is very professional with the questions and answers in 3 different columns. 

Colour Scheme:

A basic colour scheme is used with just black and white which makes it very formal and easier to read which is needed for a double paged spread. 

Target Audience:

The target audience for this double paged spread would most probably be young adults and the character used is rather young and he dresses like a young person.
