Who's Jack double page spread analysis


Route of the eye:
The route of the eye doesn’t really pass through any major parts on the page, except example’s face, this is because he is a well known figure to the people reading the magazine, and he’s been placed there to draw attention to him.

Principle of thirds:
The principle of thirds passes through example himself, and the title. The majority of the writing is also in the principle of thirds, drawing the eye to it.

Hotspots:
The first hotspot the audience looks at is the top left one, which is in the middle of EXAMPLE, this means it stands out more than it originally does, because this is somewhere people read first. The two hotspots on the right hand side are on example himself, drawing the audience’s attention to who the article is about. The only hotspot that hasn’t been put to good use is the bottom left one, because there is nothing near to it that will grab the reader’s attention.

Mode of address:
The mode of address for this page is informal, the title is written in a scruffy font, and the text reads informally. The way it is written suggests that it is aimed at an older audience because it’s talking about being under the influence of alcohol.

Colours:
The colours used on the double page spread are quite simple, and could be described as boring. The background is plain white and the writing is all grey. Examples clothing matches the colours used on the page, with him wearing a white jumper with grey detailing. The thing that stands out the most is the microphone because it has a contrasting colour to the background.

Fonts:
The font used for the title of the page is different to the rest; it has an edge to it that will attract the reader. The rest of the writing is in a normal font that is eligible to read and looks neat and clean against the background.
