production textual analysis 2

In this article in Vogue, there is a piece about an actress called Felicity. In my article I am going to write about my pretend famous model 'Elenor Rigby'. I decided to look at this article to gather some research for my own double page spread because I will write it in the same sort of style and write about the same sorts of things. I like how the author of this article has put the quote a lot bigger than the rest of the text and in the middle of two columns which is what I also wanted to do. On the side with the picture of the actress in the top left corner there is a quote from somebody about the actress and then a little bit of information about what she is wearing, how much and where from. As this is an example of a high end magazine people with more money are a lot more likely to be reading articles from these types of magazines. As people in a high social economical status will be reading this the author has used sophisticated language to meet the expectations of the reader. This is the type of language i will be using because this is what you are likely to read in all high end magazines. In the picture the model is wearing a sky blue coat with a bright pastel pink background which makes it a lot more interesting and eye catching. This is what i will be doing because it pulls in the reader so that they want to read the article. Like in my first textual analysis this article also has the capitalised letter 'I' this shows that in a lot of articles they do this, this is why i am going to do this as i want my magazine to look real and as professional as i can.

Production textual analysis 1

My production, a double page spread for a high end magazine, will be targeted at people of the social economical scale A and B around the age of 16-30. I would like my double page spread to resemble for example any high end magazines like Elle and Vogue to match the front cover of my high end magazine. After researching double page spreads in high end fashion and beauty magazines, for example Vogue and Elle, i have decided to stick with a classy and elegant looking layout using plain colours and fonts. I am going to use a black font on top of a white page accompanied with a brightly coloured image of my model to grab the interest of my audience. To add some colour to my text and brighten the page up i will capitalise the first letter of the page and put it in a dark purple colour and also use the same dark purple colour for any quotes or heading to make it look more interesting and eye catching. I will have all of the writing on the left side of the page and then on the other side i will have a large image of my model and to the side of the image i will write in small black font everything she is wearing including jewellery, shoes and makeup along with the price and shop it comes from. I will have my title much bigger than all the other written work on my page and have it in the same dark purple. Everything will be in the same font to keep it consistent throughout although the title and quotes from my model will be in a more girly, fancy font. My written work will be sectioned into columns to make it more realistic as nearly all magazines are laid out like this so it makes it look more professional.
