For this stage of my coursework we were asked to do textual analyse on 3 double page spreads and 3 contents pages. By this is means that I had to analyse 3 double page spreads and look at things like; colour scheme, image, subject names, quotes, stand first/ drop capitals, headlines and columns. Similarly, for the contents page I had to look at things like; colour schemes, mixes, categories, main images, masterheads and sub lines.
Content page

Colour Scheme: The colour scheme for Q magazine contents page matches the front cover of the magazine. Its red, white and black theme which makes the magazine stand out. The red shows the page numbers which is very important because it allows people to locate the page. Black makes the writing stand out and is very seeable against the white background which is a nice contrast. Keeping the same colour scheme through the magazine makes it look ncie and The use of the whte background allows the reader to be focused on the writing, whereas if it was a colourful background the target audience will get distracted.

It doesn't have bold, striking colours or imgaes which will distract the reader into looking at the images and not concentrating on the story. Also the colour scheme could set the theme for the image connoting thats its a simple dps and a simple image.
Image: The image is of a rapper named "Nas" and the image itself takes up one and a half pages. The image was taken in an old fashioned boxing gym, as you can see there are gym equitment such as; gym mats, weights and punching bags. The setting of the image can tell a story and relate to a former boxer "Rocky" who worked hard at what he did, and wanted the conquer the boxing world. This can connote that Nas is rying to reach his goal of being one of the best rappers of his generation. The windows connotates freedom, he is free to do what he wants to do, also the letters "NYC" symbolizes dream. Everyone goes to New York City to fufil their dreams and become something. As you can see one half of the rapper in very low-key and the other half is bright. This can mean hat the rapper is peaceful but also has a very dark and mysterious side to him. The props used in the image are; punching bags, weights and gym mats. This connotes that the rapper is fighting for his career, to show that he is the best at what he does. This may be against another rapper to show who is better in the rap world, this is very stereotypical of rapper to prove themselves to one another. The rapper is seen to be wearing a diamond watch and ring, silver chain and a white vest. The watch that the rapper is wearing connotes that he is wealthy and must be in the upper-class set to buy such an item. The ring that he is wearing connotates that he is rich and probably loyal to what he does.

Also, the rapper has a sleeve of tattoos on his arm, it is stereotypical of most muscians especially rapper to have this done. This can link to his masculine side because he went through the pain of getting the sleeve done so it shows how brave and bold he is. Nas' body language shows that he is relaxed and calm, we see this because he seems to be sitting down on something. He lets the target audience feel welcomed by the way he is sitting down. It is a mid-shot which is directly looking at the audience, making them feel engaged in his story.

Double page spread
![Picture](/uploads/1/3/7/6/13765679/2131794.jpg)
Colour Scheme: The colour scheme for the double spread page is just black and white. Black writing placed on a white background which is simple and plain. The colour scheme makes the double page spread page makes the article look peaceful. The reason that they did this is because Bow Wow is telling the magazine how he is growing up an becoming a teenager so he needs to start doing things that his fans can relate to.
Image: The double page spread has an large image of Bow Wow because the double page is about him an his music. It takes up the second page only and doesnt lay in the middle of the pages which will distract the target audience. The image is low key because the colours of the picture are not bright they're quite dark. The image can be split into half because on one side there is high key because you can see the tattoos on his arms and his skin tone. On the other side it is low key beause its black and we don't really see if he has tattoos on his other hand. We can see the shadow it creates on the vest top that he is wearing. He's wearing a hat, silver chain and a vest top. All of this is stereotypical of what all rappers will wear. The tattoos that he has can show he doesn't really care about society and he is just doing his own thing. It can also mean maturity, getting a tattoo can symbolise that he is growing up and becoming a man. The chain that he is wearing shows that he has enough money to afford it, from what he is doing is gaining him enough money.
Subject name: The subject name is located on the second page where the picture is and it says BOW WOW. It can easily be missed and no seeable. Also the fact that it is in black against a white background and is in capitals makes it kind of noticeable. It could be much more bigger so that the target audience can notice it as soon as they open the page. However the image does give us a hint about what the article will be about.
Quotes: The quote in this double page spread is placed in the middle of the columns. It has been specifically enlarged and in bold so that the target audience can see that this is what Bow Wow actually said from the interview. The quote can show how he is feeling about his music and how he is portrayed in the music industry. People will always see Bow Wow as lil' Bow Wow, but he is saying that he is now 18 and growing up, he doesn't want to push people that he is grown, he wants it to come natrually so they accept him for who he really is.
Stand-first/ Drop capital: This magazine has a drop capital which is the letter 'M'. The letter is bold and is very seeable for the target audience, letting them know where to read from.

Image: The double page spread has an large image of Bow Wow because the double page is about him an his music. It takes up the second page only and doesnt lay in the middle of the pages which will distract the target audience. The image is low key because the colours of the picture are not bright they're quite dark. The image can be split into half because on one side there is high key because you can see the tattoos on his arms and his skin tone. On the other side it is low key beause its black and we don't really see if he has tattoos on his other hand. We can see the shadow it creates on the vest top that he is wearing. He's wearing a hat, silver chain and a vest top. All of this is stereotypical of what all rappers will wear. The tattoos that he has can show he doesn't really care about society and he is just doing his own thing. It can also mean maturity, getting a tattoo can symbolise that he is growing up and becoming a man. The chain that he is wearing shows that he has enough money to afford it, from what he is doing is gaining him enough money.
Subject name: The subject name is located on the second page where the picture is and it says BOW WOW. It can easily be missed and no seeable. Also the fact that it is in black against a white background and is in capitals makes it kind of noticeable. It could be much more bigger so that the target audience can notice it as soon as they open the page. However the image does give us a hint about what the article will be about.
Quotes: The quote in this double page spread is placed in the middle of the columns. It has been specifically enlarged and in bold so that the target audience can see that this is what Bow Wow actually said from the interview. The quote can show how he is feeling about his music and how he is portrayed in the music industry. People will always see Bow Wow as lil' Bow Wow, but he is saying that he is now 18 and growing up, he doesn't want to push people that he is grown, he wants it to come natrually so they accept him for who he really is.

Double Page Spread

Colour Scheme: The colour scheme for this magazine is white, beige/brown and black. The colours beige and brown connote that the double page spread is mean to bring warmth to the readers. The colours used show a sigh of welcome, not holding anything back. Black writing on white background makes the text easier to read and understand. This is because the colours don't clash with each other. the colour scheme is pretty plain and simple so each part of the double page spread stands out.
Image: The image is of the group Black Eyed Peas, but as you can see they have faded out the rest of the members and specifically made Will.i.am the centre of attention.We can't really tell the setting of this photoshoot, but I think that the setting was just a plain background. The picture doesn't look like they took it all together. It looks like the picture has been photoshoped and cropped together to make the image look all in one. We can see this because Fergie is meant to be leaning on something or someone because she has her arm in the air and her body in tilted slantly. Also the picture shows us that she isn't leaning on Will.i.am's shoulder because her arm is behind him. The clothes that they are wearing co-ordinates with each other. This connotes that the group want to show that they get along with each other and shows the close bond that they share with each other. Their outfits show that they are a unique group and can't be compared to other groups. The clothes that they wear represents each one of them. The non verbal communication shown in this picture is the first one, standing with his legs closed and his hands held together and him looking foward could show that he may be mysterious, a very closed person that may be doesn't express his feelings that much. Fergie is showing in her body language that she is free, opened and relax. We see this because she is standing in a very relaxed position. She is directly looking at the camera showing a sign of respect to her target audience. This connotes that she doesn't feel stressed or anything and that she wants to be very direct with the target audience, not hiding anything from them. Will.i.am is standing with his legs opened and is standing forward from all of them shows that he is the leader of the group. Putting his hand on his head, saluting the target audience, this connotes a sign of respect that he has for his fans. Also could be saying thank you for all the support that the fans give. The last one through his body language is standing with his legs apart, which connotes that he is not hiding anything back. The movement that he is doing with his hands may connote that he has had enough of something or maybe he has been put under pressure too much. The image is high-key and we can see this because the colours are bright and we can see them.
Subject name: The subject name is 'Will he,won't he?' This is found on the first page f the double page spread and is written in big capital, so the reader van easily locate it. Another reason why this is in bold is so that the target audience can see the title and know what it is about. the title being bold makes it look eye-catching.
Quote: The quote is located on the second page of the double page spread and it is highlighted black with white writing. This is so that the readers can see the quote and understand that the interview is actually real. Having the quote there shows what the group is personally saying, making it reality.
Headline: The headline is the same as the subject name. The headline allows people to know what the article will be about. In this case the headline is 'Will he, Won't he.' This could mean many things for example they could be talking about will he, won't he leave the group. The headline also leaves the target audience wondering what the rest of the article will be about. This is seen as a teaser and will grab the target audiences attention.
Columns: The double page spread has two columns. The first column is the standfirst which is introducing the interview and the second column is the actual interview.
Stand-first: The stand-first is located underneath the headline where the target audience can read briefly about what the interview is about.
