Textual analysis of a music magazine double page spread

The music magazine double page spread is usually used to talk about one artist overall and have a main subject about it. The lighting is a high key lighting to portray a very successful R&B artist and how she has become thriving on her journey and become a celebrity as we look closely we can see that the old picture of Jamelia is a low key lighting whereas, the high key lighting is of her now this is probably showing us the effect of becoming rich and what it can do to you and what happens when you be successful we can see that the designer made this magazine the way it is deliberately.   

The non verbal communication that is given in this photograph we can see a contrast of when Jamelia was younger and how she looks now, in the picture of when she is younger she has a big smile whereas in the other picture she is smiling without showing any teeth and seems more calm. We can also see by the NVC she has become successful in life and it has given her confidence and the calm approach shows us she is sitting down and relaxing in life. There is not really much props but the hate symbolises to me that when she was younger she probably didn’t have much self esteem and confidence when she was younger as her face is shadowed however she still carried on to fulfill her dream.

There are also questions being asked so people can see how she has made it and how talented she has become. This will sell to people who want to know more about her and to people who are inspired by her
