Textual Analyisis (Double Page Spread)


Here is a double page spread from a Hip - Hop Connection magazine article.
The first thing that attracts the readers attention is the full page picture of a well known rapper, from the "Wu Tang Clan", GZA.
The heading states 'Pure Genius' and the sub - heading mentions that without GZA the Wu Tang Clan would not be as 'big' as they are now. It says he 'Still has creativity to burn' implying that he really can take the Wu Tang Clan a lot further in the industry.
The colour scheme and font style are the same as seen on front cover of any Hip - Hop Connection magazine, and therefore it may even be seen as iconic of this magazine.
One page has a picture, and the other, information related to this picture. In this case it is a picture of GZA, and the information is about his rise to fame along with the Wu Tang Clan.
For the reader, it would be a lot easier to understand what this article is trying get across if they already know who GZA is.
