The main image of this magazine takes up the entire right hand page of the double page spread. This means that the reader’s attention will firstly be drawn to her because it is the first thing that they will see when they open the page. The size of the image shows that she is the key feature of the spread. The masthead of the spread is quite large, black and wrapped around the smaller text as it it is the title of a book to show that it is about the artists’ life. And how she got to where she is today, which the reader will be interested in. The fact that the font is black against a white background shows that it stands out and represents that maybe the artist’s music stand out from the rest. This is also shown by her bright orange hair to show her individuality that indie artists stereotypically have. The fact that the font looks retro and has a serif shows that that is how the artist dresses and so it maintains her image. Her music is quite popular due to the vintage haunting tone of her music that is unique and unlike any other music in the charts. The fact that the first name of the artist, who is in a band, is only displayed tells the reader that she is the only important well known member of the band who sings so she gets all of the band attention.
The make up that Florence is wearing is significant too as it is another contrast to her pale skin and bright hair - again quite unusual suggesting the individuality of the artist.
ReplyDeleteI think it shows that although she is pale she stands out in her music.
