Q Magazine double page spread

The picture and writing is both split evenly on this page, giving each a half and half divide. On the right the picture is used again of Jay Z which is the same as the one featured on the contents page. Again the picture has red shading on one side of the picture and the other is white which gives a different edit to the image of 50 cent. This reflects that the theme is running throughout the entire magazine which is appropriate. This image of Jay Z illustrates his personality as he is pictured wearing big black sunglasses, plain black t-shirt and a chain, his genre of songs is rap which makes him come across as a gangster and this image definitely portrays that. With him wearing sunglasses this emphasises his arrogance and shows he can do what he likes. By him doing this it also reflects how he doesn’t need to have his face on full show to be recognised by his fans he can still have his face a partly covered for them still to recognise him since he has such a wide fan bace. The page of writing is writing heavy and takes up the full page, it is wrote in a simple font, however to make it more striking a big red bold J is placed in the centre of the page, this is effective as not only Is this the first letter of his name but it is also the first letter of the first word in the article. A bold T Is also used at the start of a new section in the article even though these two features are the main thing on this page I think it is effective.
