The
double page
spread has 3 pages altogether, I've separated so it’s easy to understand and
read. If we consider the front page with the title “Man of the moment”, the
reason it’s saying is because one of his recent movie has a good hit in
Bollywood industry which makes him man of the moment as he captured and made
his new entry after few years into the Bollywood industry again, with his new
looks and new movements. The pink text that’s covered in it is implying about
his marriage and when he will choose it. Because light colour pick is used to
show his patience for his marriage and in India pick is associated with love
and calmness. The background being used is brown but in an old room with light
being switched on but it looks like its burning and we can see an old telephone
being left in there. And his clothing outfit demonstrates and matches with the
old room colour, and this is because the actor is trying leave the past behind
him but at the same time he’s also trying to make his comeback in a good way.
Most of the space in the page is dominated by him but in the right side a bit
of white background is added to read the text which indicates that he wants his
private life and his acting career separated. And black colour font is used in
white background representing clearly how empty his life has been. The background altogether illustrates his
past life issues as its bit gloomy by black colours. The pick colour and black
colour doesn't crushes with the whole background yet it captures the beauty of
the article as the way it’s been layered. The use of black and white means seeing the
world only in terms of extremes; meaning the magazine is trying to show to us
that the actor has hidden himself from
the world of Bollywood. However at the same the long shot image of him gives
the idea of being an individuality and hardworking man which we can understand
from his suit as suits are related with power. The fact that the image is one
the left hand side of the magazine is making an impact and the first thing to
look at. Through with the image you can get an image of a fiercely and wanted
independent man, the use of font is contradicting as it’s Shahid who can be
also masculine rather than being a lover , which is what he was portrayed last
time. In addition the idea that he’s sitting on the table illustrates he’s
proud of himself as he made his to top in his own way, plus the dark gloomy
colour indicates his strong fiery personality side that he has and is still
holding on it because he never wants to be like someone else, he wants to be
famous in his own way like he always he does. As the headings and the other
texts are split over differently it lets the reader to take time to read the
exact and not to be distracted by various images or texts. Shahid is looking
directly at (the direct mode of address) us, that he’s the main man of the
moment this year and he’s slowly becoming in control to make his hits in the
Bollywood industry. The title indicates his achievement he made during his
years in the industry and like others he’s
one of the expensive actors. Lastly the images used in here is similar from the
front cover , keeping it to the same style of brown and white , which gives the
reader sense of continuity throughout the magazine and a reoccurring theme of
darkness and simplicity. The interview is opened directly with a quote and an
exclamation mark, immediately the
reader is engaged and inquisitive as in why suddenly Shahid has been captured
as man of the moment. By using quotes throughout the article, is making the
reader feel as it through they are with her. Throughout the article its
plugging about his new movies and, speaking of its brilliance to its
reader.
The
other page is in black and white showing us his deep roots of life as the whole
article talks about it; it’s mainly about his family life, which we can understand from the quote
“dad”. Drop capital letter F is used at the start to indicate his view on other
artist and plus his success and upcoming of his new films. This page only talks
about his success and his bright side of his life, even though the use of black
and white colour makes the image appear more classy and sophisticating .Because
he’s looking at the mirror it suggest that he’s looking into his career of how
he’s doing now and what’s his plan for next summer. The audience can clearly see
the large picture of him has significance since it takes up half of the double
page spread bringing focus immediately on him. With nothing in the background
but only white and his stylish appearance using direct mode of address another
as well as looking at himself, he’s also staring at us representing that he
will be revealing all in the article to come. His mysterious and straight
forward expression with no smile gives the reader a further enticement to read
the article to see what’s in his mind.
Having the choice of Shahid to be the feature of the double page spread
shows that Stardust is a popular magazine, as the artist is current and liked
in everywhere. The interview continues on the other page but keeping the brown
and black gloomy background mode. The next page also a pull quite saying his
embarrassing moments when media thinks he’s on a relationship with new actress.
It continues in the informal way of addressing its audience, and by keeping the
interview idiosyncratic, which engages the reader throughout. The
representation of this article is cool calm and composed. Staying into the
colour of black and white it maintains a sense of continuity and easy flow with
it, which is attractive to the reader. The writing is also kept simple with no
over dramatic fonts, so we can focus solely on the image of Adele. The bold
white puff adds a bit of dramatic element to the magazine, a polished and clean
look is given the article, making it look more elegant.
The last
page showing him seating down shows his sophisticate look and how’s he’s ready
to roll into the industry again. This time this image is positioned in the left
side covering only small space of it because now it’s his image to focus on,
it’s on the article as its finishing. The article finishes to its sentence by
saying “he made his super comeback to acting after so long”. The whole texts
are kept in black in white background which shows his simplicity through the
interview and in his life. His look with glass and the blazer being buttoned up
, with half brown background and his
shadow outlines he can achieve his
success and boom into the industry again. This shows his formal personality in
certain time of his career but he will never give up.
