The fact that his glasses are black shows that he wants his identity to be hidden but the colour black connotes fear so for some reason he may be scared of something.

The editor includes two colours on the background of the picture one each side of Jay-Z. The red may represent his evil and powerful side whereas the shade of light blue may represent his peaceful and loving side which indicates he may have more than 1 personality. Also the colours contrast.

The headline says ‘”he Most Exciting People in Music” which is followed by JAY-Z also indicates how Jay-z is one of the biggest names in the hip hop industry.

The image of Jay-Z takes up one whole page of the double page spread. The image of Jay-Z is a close up shot where he isn't showing any emotion which may be because of his image, Jay-Z is a world famous rapper who is a very cool and calm individual so this shot may represent that image.

The text included on the double page spread is quite a small amount but this may be due to the target audience as Wiz Khalifa is a rapper so it’s likely that the people who are reading the article aren't going to be interested in reading a large article. So the amount of text included in the article by the editor is cleverly chosen to make the magazine appeal to fans of rap music.

The magazine uses a heading of ‘How High’ by using alliteration this intrigues the audience and it also interests them as the questions is based around the artists personality of how he is portrayed, therefore it reinforces the rapper lifestyle which appeals to the audience. The use of the small text underneath the heading ‘How High’ appeals to the reader as they learn if the article is going to be interesting to them without having to read the whole

The main image takes up one side of the double page spread.

In the shot Katy is making eye contact with the reader which may draw them in to read the article.

The article is very plain as the text section only uses two colours: black and white. This may be to keep the magazine professional and it also means emphasis is only placed upon certain sections due to their point size and the use of bold.

The image of Katy Perry is provocative because of what she is wearing and it would mostly appeal to teenagers and young adults, mostly males.

The layout of this double-page spread is simple so it looks professional. However, it looks like it is from a magazine aimed at a target audience of middle-aged readers, which contradicts the image on the opposite page and the content of the article as most of Katy Perry’s fans will be from around the ages of 14-25.

The cross Katy Perry is wearing round her neck shows her religion but the way she is dressed contradicts that because of what she is wearing. The cross indicates that she is religious and a “good girl” but the way she is dressed doesn't fit that description.

The target audience for this article will be female from the ages of around 13-30 as it is an article on an artist whose music mainly appeals to females. Also the colour scheme is very feminine as the editor has use pink and purple.

The masthead ‘FIERCELY CREATIVE’ is written in bold, block capitals to make the title stand out to the reader. The text follows the colour scheme of the title as they are both written in white.

The editor of the article has cleverly put the section of writing into columns to make it seem like there isn't a lot of reading to do as someone may be put off by a huge amount of text.

The white text stands out well on the purple background, it makes it clear and easy to read. The font varies slightly although it’s mostly similar with the small writing.

The colour scheme is very bright and vibrant. There are only two colours used purple and white. The purple background is very abstract, it draws the reader’s attention. Also the purple background matches the makeup used on the artist. There is a great contrast between the two colours used.
