Main task: Double page spread textual Analysis

Denotation: I see a picture of a woman. It has been taken mid close up, showing some shoulder and head. She is wearing a smart white collar shirt and a black shinny tie. She also is clutching this tie. She is giving direct eye contact to the reader. The background is plain white. The title is viva Eva with an exclamation mark which is sens-serif font. There are three images


NVC:
Her facial expression is sedative and inviting as her eyes are slightly closed showing her eye make up which makes her ,ore attractive to look at for the audience. Her mouth is slightly open giving off a sexual disposition. which influences the audience to read the information, as it may be about her which looks very attractive as she is grabbing her tie giving of a 'bad' sexual persona.

Setting:
There is no setting, just a clear white background. This may be to give attention to the photograph on the first page and the information on the second page. The smart white shirt Eva is wearing blends with the background which is not often done, as the subject wears a contrasting costume although this photograph still stands out as the black tie goes with the theme of the double page. Making he double page more attractive and presentable for the audience which influences them to read the information also.

Costume:
Eva is wearing a white collar shirt with a black shiny tie which gives her a smart, sophisticated sexy look. Relating her to the audience and the idea of work . Her costume goes with the black and white theme of the double page. She is also wearing a four petal silver ring that stands out from the rest of her outfit which is quite plain, other then black and white displayed on the double pages. The presentation of her costume is neat, her shirt is button up to the top her tie is tied tight. This attracts the audience, that her image is other then the feminine style of dress bright colours such as pink. she looks smart and presentable and this makes the audience interested int he article written next to her.

lighting:
The lighting used is high key, free from shadow, both two pages show a natural white lighting. The white lighting makes the reader focus on whats on the pages such as Eva and the writing which is written in black so stands out from the plain background. The high-key lighting

The woman in the main image appears sexy and flirtatious although contrasts this appearance with her costume which is sophisticated. She may have done this to challenge the stereotype that women always have to look sexy, and that although she appears flirtatious is an independent, smart woman influencing young women to read the magazine and to maybe follow in her footsteps, as smart shirt and tie symbolises work and independence.
