deconstruction of a feature page

This is a feature page from the magazine 'RESPECT', the same magazine that I used for a deconstruction of a front cover. The 4 pictures of the artist 'T.I' have been merged together to create a visual image that is aesthetically pleasing. The use of a simple black and white visual motif, creates writing that stands out and is clear to read. However as this magazine mainly focusses on the images rather that the writing, the writing is particularly small in comparisson to the image. The image has the artist looking directly towards the camera, creating an eyeline match that gives a sense of a relationship with the reader. When I create my feature page for my music magazine, I'm going to try and make the image stand out through the use of a white background and black writing. Although i will make the image cover the whole double page spread, I will make sure that I make the writing take up more of the space, in order to create interest in the writing, rather than just the image.
