Textual analysis --> Music Magazine Double Page Spread

This is a double page spread from a music magazine of Pink. This is a typical double page spread as it has a heading, photograph and article.

Just like the double page spread of Lily Allen, the photograph of Pink takes up half of the the page. Although this time the background is not white like the Lily Allen one. Another difference is that this image is a close up only showing Pink's face. Pink's blonde hair adds contrast to the image through colour as the background is black. There is also yellow dots of either side of Pink's face which add contrast. I think these yellow dots could be earrings as they are below her ears, another reason is that you can slightly see the wire of the earring. Pink is showing the audience that she is happy. The image is light although there is a black background this is because her make is not dark and heavy like Lily’s was. I also think that the photograph looks light because Pink is smiling which detracts your eyes from the dark background. In the bottom right hand side of the photograph there is some writing written in white so that is stands out.

This double page spread looks more provisional and formal then the previous one. This makes me think that this double page spread is from a more established music magazine then before. This could also be about the image they are trying to but across of Pink. Peoples first impressions of Pink is that she is a rebel, but I think is trying to put across that she is not a rebel but instead a respectable lady.

Unlike the article on Lily Allen. The heading is not large and in bold taking up half the page. Instead the heading is simple. The font nothing fancy but is a simple font that most computers have. This font is used throughout the article but in different sizes and in bold in some parts. Underneath the heading is a small paragraph, I think this paragraph tells the reader about the article. 

This double page spread in some ways is not conventional. This is because usually double page spreads have more then one image. Another reason is because no important quotes have been taken out of the article and made larger.
