Analyzing Double Page Spread








This is an example of a double page spread from Vibe Music Magazine.

The Media Language on here instantly tells us that this page is based on hip hop music. Firstly, this is because of all the images, which all have connotations of hip hop such as the baseball caps, the hoodies and flash jewlery, the smoking theme and the swade casual clothing.

The institution of Vibe is that it is a commercial music magazine, which makes it's money out of advertising and fashion promotions.

The Audience for these particular pages are of course hip hop music lovers; people who like that genre of music.It will be a mix of roughly equal ratio between males and females, as i can tell because of the mixed use of interviewed celebrities.

These main images have many connotations with hip hop. The pictures have nearly all being taken from a low angle, which introduces superiority to the images meaning. These are just a very few of the conscious decisions that the photographer makes when taking the image.

The ideology behind these two pages is to clearly promote hip hop music.
