main task (music magazine) Double page spread textural analysis

Denotation: Photograph of T.I (rapper) acting like an aeroplane

Connotation: Music, Hip hop and RnB.


Mise on scene:
Costume: His clothing consists of a checked shirt with either a white shirt or vest underneath, he is also wearing grey trousers and several chains which implies that he's dressed casually as the's not wearing the sterotyped trend such as baseball caps, bagg trousers, several long chains and hoddies like may others, this could also imply that he developed his own style but still keeps the 'chain' almost like a trademark that he's rapper.

Props: T.I is holding no props as he's wearing his, (could be) props.

Setting: the background is plain white to focus on the main image,(T.I.). It could also be use because of his non verbal communication as his body language imples that he's acting like an aeroplane and the background could also represent the sky.

Non verbal communication: His facial expression is calm and relaxed as if he's setting an example to his fans, his body language imples that he's acting like an aeroplane to show that he's living large and could realate to the main story.

Lighting: The lighting used is high key but the image has some dark tones to contast the image with the light tones and background.

The color scheme of the double page spread is white, which is a simple colour to use, to modernise the layout, to make the image stand out.

Main image: the image of T.I. consists of a full double page but the tip of this hand bleeds through the other page, this shows that the DPS is directly about him.

Subject name: the subject name is called "SUMMER T.I.ME" as it stands out and orientated by the main subject T.I.

By-line: matches the colour scheme and is located under the subject name.

Headline: is in a specialised font that also matches the colour scheme and is located on the top right hand corner.

Strap-line: starp-line is in yellow circle with white text which it gives the summer feel, this is made to tell or give a brief on what the subject matter is about.

Text columns: they layout displays this below the by-line and like an artical always dislayed as columns.
