Moodboard/Double Page Spreads

This is a mood board for music magazine double page spreads.

The artist in the article is Tinie Tempah. Tinie is a rapper and this would be aimed for young people aged 10 to 25 because there are a lot of people that really like rap music some of those people are teenagers and others are adults.

The language used in the article is informal. Words like “FOR FUCK SAKE!” and “man” is informal language and is placed in the article to suit the target audience

Bright colours are used to show it’s a happy and really cheerful article. The colour of the title is in black so the reader isn’t drawn away from the actual article.

For the title of the article, a big bold font style is being used to present the article and because it’s a really big font size it’s noticeable. But the rest of the text is in a smaller and skinnier font style and size making it look like it’s not really important.

On the double page article it has one big picture on the first page on the top half of the page and below it the title. Below the title you then have two paragraphs which run along the bottom of the page. Next to the two paragraphs you have three picture of Tinie Tempah in the studio recording and that takes up the bottom half of the second page. At the top of the second page you have a medium sized picture of Tinie Tempah in the studio. Below that you have two columns of text which have been separated by a must know rectangular box which goes down the middle separating the two columns of text.

Most of the pages have been taken up by images and a small percentage of the page has been taken up by text. 70% of the page is taken up by images and the remaining 30% is taken up by text.

The tone used in the magazine when addressing the reader is an informed intelligent fan because it’s not making the reader feel involved in the article.

The artist is presented as a cool, easy going and hard-working guy. He’s shown to be having fun at times and enjoying himself while he’s working.

 The style of the article is shown to be well organised. The font of the article is big and bold and black and the colour red is used frequently. In the front cover everything is laid out the same. The colour red is used to symbolise the logo of the magazine and the bold title shows the more important articles.

The article doesn’t demand any prior knowledge but you would have to know who the artist is to fully understand what is going on in the article.
