On the left hand side of the page an archaic style is again adopted providing insight into the hsitorical context of the world of music production showing a list of significant songs throughout the decades. The textual information adopts a colloquial linquistic style implementing American slang such as "rock 'n' roll" and "love, marriage, booze and orchestras..." to appeal to a younger demographic. Colloquialism used, accompanied by images and other bite-siz segments of interesting facts and opinion such as "Together again..Mojo's top Americana couples..." prevents the reader from feeling bombarded with lots of infomation, and from viewing the piece as teidious. Here the image seems to be the most prominant aspect of the peice in order to create a certain ideology or imagery of the perfect American couple from a musical perspective.Monday, 8 February 2010

once again you need to be considering layout and design - you will find a help sheet on printers' terms on the home page for Music Magazine blog.
ReplyDeleteThe layout and design of this piece is quite structured, orderly and consistent in providing information which makes it evidently different to the front cover and contents page; the fun loving and relaxed ethos conveyed by Bob Marley's aesthetic and the careful placing and selection of textual information, and font in particular, compared with
ReplyDeletethe enthusiasm evident in the contents page in order to appeal to a broadened demographic of audience is certainly not reflective through the particular ethos the piece demonstrates.
On the left hand side of the page an archaic style is adopted, to me the piece resembles an aged postcard or newspaper article and this is reinforced by the remote or venerable "print block"/capitalized font type used for the heading "Gimme Ten!" and the aged off-white/beige colouring in the background.
