Hello Everyone,
Today I am going to be analysing Ed Sheeran’s Q double page spread. This
double page spread is very bright and image heavy. The Image fills both pages and
is separated by a large white box containing the article. The image itself if
very nicely shot as it has Big Ben and the houses of Parliament in the
background, this shows that Ed is from Britain as if an artist is American e.g.
Lana Del Rey’s NME front cover. They’re shown with something e.g. an American
flag showing they’re from America so Q has done this with Ed Sheeran’s double
page spread but shown his British roots. Also, with his casual outfit of jeans
and a hoodie (which is typical Ed Sheeran) he looks like a normal Londoner but
with his guitar he appears to be busking which shows he’s more concerned about
the music rather than the fame.
The conventions I would consider
using from this double page spread would be that fact it’s on location, often
photos are taken in the studio but the location makes the image have depth and
meaning. Also I really like the large quote on the bottom of the image, it
almost appears to be the title of the article (I don’t think I’ll have it as
the title) but I would consider having a quote on the page somewhere. The
conventions I wouldn’t consider using would be having a large box with the
article written in it there’s just something I don’t like about it, even though
it makes the article stand out against the image I just don’t like it so
probably won’t use it. However, I like the drop capital and that indented
quote, they draw the reader into the article and the indented quote breaks up
the text making it look less like a large block of text encouraging the reader
to read it.
