Research/Case Studies 7

This double page spread celebrates Solange Knowles successful R&B album.

Blue font is used to show the most important information. For example the name of the magazine ‘now’ is printed on the top left corner in this colour as well as the artist name ‘Solange knowles’. They have used this colour as it stands out amongst the other text on the page as it contrasts with the black and white. It also draws the readers to the text, which helps them indicate to what this particular article is about.

The text on the other side of the page is in a bold and black font. This also grabs the audience’s attention and draws them on to that part of the page.

There are six images of Solange in the background, dancing and posing representing her different personalities. So the readers can feel more connected to the article. The images are in black and white which demonstrates, that she’s showing the of her side that not many of her readers or fans know. The black lines under her feet breaks up the page so it’s clearer to read and looks like could it could be a stage.

The main image on the page shows Solange in a dress in the colour red. Red represents love, passion and danger. The bottom of the dress comes out and looks like two large roses, which could mean that the red is representing the love side. However, the Sell line on the left says ‘forget her sister’ this could be representing the danger side. She’s also wearing a black fluffy jacket going over her dress, large jewellery and unique heels which is fashionable and will appeal to young audiences, who follow fashion trends. Her hands are placed behind her back this looks very childlike and shows her innocent side. Her curly hair also shows this. Her eyes have direct contact with the audience, showing a sign of intimacy and draws the audience onto the page.
