Double Page spread Analysis

Double page spread from Fader Magazine

In this double spread they use one of the pages to promote the artist by making the whole photo be the artist. By doing this it appeals to the audience as they could use this page as a poster if they wanted to. By having the lead image a photo of the artist ‘Wiz Khalifa’ it shows the article is very much about them. the artist to make him look to the audience how he portrays himself in his music, for example Wiz Khalifa consistently in his music talks about getting high and smoking weed, therefore they have made Wiz Khalifa have smoke coming out of his mouth. This appeals to not only the target audience but the artists fan base as the images and article fits with the way Wiz Khalifa is portrayed. This too reinforces the that rappers smoke and take drugs. Wiz Khalifa reinforces the way a stereotypical rapper is seen,This appeals to the audience as the magazine shows the genre all the way through.
The magazine again uses colour code, by choosing the background of the lead image to be black and the artists hat to be yellow as well as the writing and heading fits in with the artist as Wiz Khalifa’s number 1 song is called Black & Yellow and it is what he is known for. Therefore this appeals to his fan base as it links his work in with the article and makes it more interesting and fun in some ways for the audience.The magazine keeps the title very simple, they use Wiz Khalifa’s trademark initials using the colour code of black and yellow again to indicate his song Black & Yellow and to promote Wiz Khalifa not only as an artist but as a brand also. The magazine uses a heading of ‘How High’ by using tells the audience a bit about the artist the article, this appeals to the reader as they learn if the article is going to be interesting to them without having to read the whole article. I think this double page spread type will attract my audience.
