Double Page Spread Analysis - Hip Hop Connections

·The lay out of this double page spread is split, on the left hand side is all the questions and answers that have been said, and on the right hand page of the spread is an image of the artist, which is full length. The background of the image is quite plain and mostly white in colour, this makes the artist stand out more and look quite powerful.

·The choice of images used for this interview and double page spread is quite ironic because the stance and pose of the man looks very powerful, but also calm and relaxed, which to me shows that he is or should be well know, but actually most people don’t and wont know who he is, unless he has been around before and he has reinvented him self or become a solo artist.

·The choice of band for the double page spread reflects the genre of the music magazine. Also the target audience for this magazine is aimed round teenagers and young adults; 17- 26. This is due the language this has been used in the interview and the fact that when the magazine has been edited, the swear words have not been blanked out.

·The type is language that has been used in this interview, is quite well spoken and no slang is used, the interviewee is also talking about serious things that he is doing at the moment and what he may be doing in the future; ‘ There’s new graphic novel coming up through Warner Brothers’. But in this interview there is also some swearing throughout it, the interviewee uses the word ‘Shit’ quite a lot when he is describing other artists; ‘Its frustrating seeing rappers talk about the same shit all the time. There’s so much to write about!’ he even talks about his own work; ‘I about to do the greatest shit I’ve ever done.’

·The style of the article matches the style of the front cover of the magazine because background are similar, there are both using white, and also because the images on both are powerful in a way that the pose’s that have been used also catch the readers eye, they are also full page and the dominant thing on the whole page.

·The colours used are, white, green and red. The background on both the page with the writing on it and the full page of the image. The main text colour is green, but to make some of the text and quotes stand out they are in red font, bold and bigger size text.
