the top of the screen, the Model image is in the centre and
the barcode is at the base of the cover. This is ideal for an
audience as they see exactly what the publisher want them to
see in a Z order shape across the whole item. This gives order
to the magazine from the beginning showing that it will be
ordered throughout the whole of the magazine.
Branding
Use of space: Space is used well I this magazine double page spread as every piece of pace is filled with an image
or information. The publisher has done this to give as much information to the audience as he can. It also looks as
though there isn't too much writing on here. This is done as the picture shows a lot of information. The little props
such as the beer bottles giver information, maybe even more than the actual words. This shows the audience that
the publisher is very clever as he can show that you don't just give information and flair through words and typed
words.layout : Basic layout is crucial as the model is central and takes up a lot of space. I can see the grid method
Basic
as the model and wording is placed exact. The layout is very plain crisp and clear. It is worth nothing that Dizzee
takes the center of the double page spread, this is pleasing to the eye and shows that the layout is very good. The
font is small letting the viewer know that they have condensed the words down as much as they can for the
audiences convenience.
Colour scheme is one of the elements that connects this magazine together. The red
colour for NME shows that Dizzee controls this magazine issue. The viewer knows that
the target audience is meant for all genders of about the ages of 15-25, this is because
Dizzee Rascal inspires the younger generation to stay young and have fun. Also whites
and blacks have been used to highlight and show the dominance of the headlines and
backgrounds. The theme is very modern and eye catching allowing the reader to make
their own decision on the magazine.
Popups are used on the majority of pages to show that you get a lot more than just
information in the magazine. Another point that is kept the same is the genre. The hip
hop genre is kept to create the sane meaning. This Dizzee Rascal edition is serious and
he isn't a child anymore.
Font and design is used to connote a new and fresh style. The different fonts and styles
capture an audience and keep them intrigued as many magazines dont do this. This
makes them original and stand out, connecting all three of the pages together.
Mode of address. The dialect that the magazine uses is London slang . Throughout all
three of these articles slang and informal speech is used. This connects them all as
they all speak to the viewer to relate to them, showing compassion and reality.
Positive about his comeback, also all three of these texts are positive about his
comeback into the music career. This is good as it puts Dizzee in a good light, allowing
him to get more popular. Comparing his past to his present is also added into this
article lot. This is because theyre highlighting his change from then till now.
