Contents page and Dps deconstruction




Image result for music magazine double page spreadThe main header

The title is "The revenge of Mark Ronson" The name Mark Ronson being the biggest font size on the page, This signifies his importance and shows he is the main focus of the article it is bold and black and simple which may imply that it has more of an appeal to men due to it's basic layout. There is also a drop cap which is large in size and is a key feature of double page spreads which i will include in my own magazine. Another key feature of a double page spread is a pull quote which is denoted in the centre of the columns of text. The pull quote anchors the Main header and the image. The pull quote suggests the narrative is about certain groups of people having something negative to say due to something or someone and the header adds the narrative suggesting he's taking revenge on something that has perhaps bruised his image and is reclaiming his image back. The main image also backs this up as it shows him being violent smashing a trumpet, he's wearing black sunglasses suggesting mystery and red socks, with red commonly connoting violence, danger and anger.

The main image 

Conveys his full body and suggests a sense of relaxation or that he doesn't care or even like he's got everything in control. The all black clothing compared to the all white blank background suggests a binary opposite of good and bad. Mark's exterior is black and negative maybe evil as suggested with the pull quote saying he's "a f*cking wanker" however he is wearing white inside suggesting he is good inside. The suit represents maturity and matches the typography and theme of the magazine, however the red socks doesn't match or correlate with the theme and may also convey his wackiness or deeper personality that is less serious than the suit he is denoted to be wearing and the sunglasses.
