Feature Page Analysis

 

  

This is single page spread out of XXL magazine. It features Ron Browz, a hip hop artist. This page informs the reader all about him and his life.

The picture of Ron Browz takes up half of the page. He is looking straight at the reader to show that he has no more power than the reader does, this is untypical of artists as they usually show that they have more power. However Ron Browz is dressed typically like a artist would normally dress. We know that he is wealthy as he is wearing an expensive scarf, and jewellery. The way he is dressed with his jeans and jacket shows that is a typical; artist however the way he is posing in this picture contradicts this.

This picture was not taken in a studio as you can clearly see the background behind him. The picture itself is natural. The layout of this picture is also a traditional one where there is a picture and beside that there is writing in a long paragraph. I like these layouts as I think if there was too much going on in the pages, it would distract readers. The shot is a medium shot as you can see nearly all of his body, this helps the artist to relate to the audience as you can see he is dressed in a typical young and fashionable way. 

The colour scheme of the page is mostly the background of the picture and then the writing has been written over it. The title is big and bold which grabs attention, the colour of the font is black however red is used as well. The font is a standard type font. The target audience of this magazine feature page is 16-24 year olds as they mostly listen to this type of music.
