Textual Analysis - Double Page Spread

This is a double page spread of the previous issue of 'Vibe' magazine. The same colour scheme is used allot to reiterate the mood and helps get the point across without complicating the page as there is a lot of writing set in columns just like a newspaper which also aims to get their message across. The columned writing may be perceived as boring but this magazine has used the strength of the picture to help readers think more about what is being said and help put some focus on having an image in their head and not just words.

This is also a double page spread of the magazine. As you can see the creator of this double page spread has chosen to use colour to make their message stand out before reading the article. The picture used is in colour but has chosen darker colours such as brown and blue which will help readers to see the picture as being sad and dark. But the photographer has put the child in the middle wearing a bright yellow top which stands out the most, and is used to show that the child is the happiness of the picture and even though there living in a bad situation everyone is together and happy about that.

The subtitle is in big bold red letters which stands out and allows the readers to know what the main topic of the article is before reading it is. The message is meant to be about something bad which is also shown in the picture but is also shown with the red writing which has connotations of bad things and blood.
