Double Page Spread Textual Analysis


This article in Vogue, actress Felicity Jones is being interviewed. However, It is not a question and answer style article. Key quotations from the interview carried out by the journalist writing the article are included while they explain what happened during the interview. This style of article gives it a more sophisticated and high class feel, as the questions asked are insightful to the actress' life, rather than pointless questions that are sometimes included in more low end articles. A capitalised letter used at the beginning which also adds to the sophisticated feel of the magazine and it is a very recognisable style of Vogue magazine. A key quotation from the interview enlarged, breaking down the text slightly. Other than the main image on the right side of the article,  the quotation is the first thing you see. The image is a mid shot of Felicity Jones. The image is very simple and shows her looking quite natural but flawless. The image is in colour and is bright which may be trying to reflect her personality and maybe also the season in which the article appears in the magazine. The pop of colour gives a nice contrast to the black and white page on the left. However, even though the colour is bright on the image, it still looks very sophisticated as there are only to main bright colours which complement each other well and reflect a very fresh look, also portrayed though the actress' make up. The image is very much based around her and nothing else which may connote that the focus in the acting world is currently on her. On the side of the image there is a brief description of her clothing. The clothing she is wearing is from Burberry, which is a familiar designer brand often seen within Vogue. The name of the journalist is listed at the very bottom of the article. The page number also appears below the text.
