The first thing you see in the route of the eye is the title of the article. I feel they have made this the first thing you see is because this is the most important piece of text on the page as it is the title. The title does not make much sense I feel they have done this so you have to read about it to understand it. I feel they have use Rihanna because she is one of the most famous R&B music icons around. She also sings different type of R&B that will attract a wide range of people. Also the title has another big R&B icon which is Drake. I feel the reason they have mentioned his name because this will attract more of an male audience as well. The text writing that says ‘What’s My Name’ is in capitals and is in big bold black letters and has a yellow background behind it. They have made it black because black is one of the boldest colours and they have made it bold because they want people to notice it so they will read about it. I feel they have used the colour yellow because yellow is also a bright colour that will grab there attention, yellow also means happy. The text that’s says ‘Rihanna ft Drake’ is in blue. Rihanna is all in capitals and Drakes isn’t I feel they have done this because Rihanna is the main person as the article is about her but you know it will probably mention Drake, I feel they have but the text in blue because it is more o a male colour then yellow so it is trying to attract the males. The next thing you see in the route of the eye is the another title ‘Hair today gone tomorrow’. I feel they have put this page because Rihanna is a massive fashion icon and females will look up to her and would want her hairstyles. So to attract more of an audience they have put about 4 different hairstyles that Rihanna has had in the past year. I feel they have done this for two reasons. The first is because I they want to show how much she has changed and also how she can pull them all off, so other people will want one of these hairstyles that will suit them best. This text is the same colours as the main title. I feel this is because to grab the audience attention as black and yellow is both bold colours and will grab the audience attention. The route of the eye then goes down to the primary optical area and the whole of this is just Rihanna’s face. This picture is conventional as she is making eye contact with the audience, I feel this is because the audience then feel mote connected with celebrity, and it makes the photo looks more effective. Another thing that grabs Rihanna’s hair as it is bright red. I feel this is why they have the image is bigger than it should be so her hair catches the audience attention. The route of the eye then goes down to the terminal area. The first thing you see is a little yellow box that has a sub title saying ‘along similar lines’ this is convention as it is short and catchy as then people will want to read this because they will want to know what this means, there is also only a little bit of text in this box and it wouldn’t take to long to read so they will read it. After this it has the last picture of Rihanna’s hairstyle now. I feel this is because people will then want this hairstyle as it is in fashion. The four hot spots are all on the large image I feel this is because it is the biggest and most important thing on the page. The colour scheme that have used is black, yellow and white. The main articles background is white. I feel they have just made it white so that text and image stands out more so it catches the audience attention more. The second article about her hairs background is black but still uses the yellow box and black writing inside. They have done this because they audience then know it is about something else but it is about the same person. I feel this makes the page more interesting as it also has hair tips for girls and as Rihanna is a massive fashion icon they know people will read it and will want to buy it. Also this makes the magazine stand out from other competition on the market. The image is in the middle of the page and the two article either side. I feel they have done this because you can tell the articles are different. It also shows it is about the same person. It also makes the image stand out more as the middle page focuses on this. The whole page only has a little bit of text. I feel this is because people will then want to read it as there isn’t to much to read so they will more likely to read. The main text is talking about Rihanna’s text so it is advertising her new album, and also Rihanna’s favourite song on there which is called ‘What’s My Name’ this is why the main article is called this. This title also sounds catchy. The text is talking to the audience so the audience feel involved so they feel that they have to buy the album and have to listen to this song. ‘We’ve listened to it 14 times in a row and still don’t hate it’ this is what it says in the article I feel they have said this because it makes the song sound brilliant and makes the audience want to hear it and want to buy the album. I feel this target market is aiming at 16-20 as it even says in the article that the song is about sex and I feel Rihanna is trying to aim for that age range as younger children would not understand.
