Vibe Double Page Spread

The colour scheme on this page is very subtle with the black and white images on the background, along with the grey writing, blue is used twice to emphasise her name and to make it stand out amongst the grey simple text- this may be cause she is not well known of, so that would be the first thing that stands out whilst you are scanning the page. The black and white theme is what makes the image so striking as this is the only thing in colour, especially since she is wearing a vibrant red dress, so instantly your attention is drawn to her which is what she wants as she probably wants to stand out from her sister ‘Beyonce Knowles’. As well there is nothing taking the attention off her as there is no text positioned around her it is all just white. Black writing is used once on this page to highlight a quote she has said from the article, this is a typical code and convention of a magazine and many do this. The smaller images behind her contrast with the main image because the background pictures tell a different story- of her just having a good time and being herself, this is sectioned off with 5 black stripes this goes well with the images since they are bold and black and cuts it off well. Whereas the main dominant image looks vulnerable as if what she is going to say is going to be emotional but I think this technique has been used wisely as I think it could gain her audience, because people will look at her facial expression and what to find out more. I think this image would be directed at women and women only, as the whole page looks feminine especially with what she is wearing, I can’t see a man being drawn to this page unless they found her attractive. Also ‘Solange Knowles’ type of music isn’t very masculine so I don’t even think they would even know who she was. Four columns are used for the writing in simple sans serif font, with an image placed in the middle this makes it easier to read as it makes the text deceiving as there doesn’t seem as much. The writing above the columns above this is in capital letters and bold font even though the colour does not stand out much it still works well with the theme that is being portrayed.
