Connotations of any/ all of the above??

I am using a a double page spread from NME magazine and the article
is about Liam Gallagher. There are columns used, there are four columns used
because the title is so big there is less room height wise so they have to
squeeze it in landscape wise. The images are organised to the left hand side
whereas the writing is on the right hnd size. The reason for this is because
people read from the left to the right so when people go onto the double page
spread they will read this first, see
his face and realise that the article will be on him. They are placed on the
right hand side and this is because and obvisuly the titl is placed above.
There are two straplines used. One is a quote saying “We’ve booted the door
off te hinged and steamed right in there, into this other world” they are
used to indugle the audiacne into what Liam is like. The imagine of Liam is
in black and white and this connotes his type of music and this woud attract
the target audience.

Whose POV does the article assume?

There is a photogragh of Liam Gallagher and he is here because the
article is about him. Eventhough the article is abou Beady Eye, there is only
a photo of Laim, suggesting that nobody cares about the rest of the band.
There are no illustrations and the
reason is there is no need for any. There is only one imagine and that is of
a male, maybe there is a female in the band but they are not important enough
to get on this ouble page spread. Noel Gallagher is a celebrity and the
reason e is on is because he has such a huge fan club and is garanteed to
sell copies. I woud say that is is not either text or imagine led and is
fifty fifty. The caption for the image is “Different gear: Liam’s gone
experimental” and the reason for this is because Liam is known for his individual dress sense
and now he is dressed different, this shown be known for anyone that has not
reaslised.
