Double Page Spread Analysis



I will be analysing this double page spread which is based on Hip-Hop and R&B artist “The Game”. The props that have been used in this picture are the “The Games” hat and chains. They connote his wealth and success of his career. They also represent what “The Game” is all about and the type of props that Hip-Hop and R&B artists normally wear.
“The Games” costume is quite a basic modern day wear. He has been dressed like this to represent his own fashion. His costume consists of a baggy top, jeans and trainers. Another reason they have dressed him like this is becuase he was brought up on the streets, and this is how you expect artist that rap to dress, it is also his own sense of style.
The Games facial expressions show that he is serious about what he has got written in the article, the connotations that us as a audience get is that he isn’t happy about something, and in bold writing on the double page spread in bold black writing we are told why. The reason it is written in black is so that it can stand out on the white background. This is a good technique because it will stand out to the audience, and they will read what it says and then read the rest of the article because they are interested as it is about conflict between “The Game” and a well known rapper “50 Cent”.
The picture is high key lightining as the picture has been taking in the outside enviorment. In the background there is a building with graffitie on it, again this is showing us what you would expect to see on the streets that he has been brought up on. The whole photo is based on a stereotype. The palm tree also shows that this photo is likely to of been taken in America.
