Again, the main image is of Paul McCartney, creating more continuity . He is seen grabbing his hair and screaming as if frustrated. This creates ambiguity with the word run. This is because the writing explains how he hasn't stopped producing after 40 years of leaving the Beatles and how he "refuses to stand still" but also the frustration makes him seem worried as if on the run. This is also the first time we see his legs at all, this could also relate to the word "RUN" as you run with your legs. He still seems to be wearing the same clothing, the dark black jacket contrasts against the white background making him pop out of the page.
The use of two simple 3 letter words, "MAN" and "RUN" creates an effective title and combines the house style colour scheme effectively due to the simpleness. The red highlight on Paul McCartney's name adds more red so that the double page spread doesn't look too black and white. It also makes his name stand out to the reader so that they know the two pages link. tis is because it is unusual to have a clear separation between pages of a double page spread.
The bold black background makes all of the writing stand out and contrasts against the light grey background of the picture next to it. There is also two lines, one above the writing and one below to group the words together. The simple by lines are located at the bottom of the left hand page with the people in bold and the title in regular font.
Summary of Analysis
From this analysis I have learned how achieve ambiguity through the use of pun. Also how to create strong contrasts between images and backgrounds and text and backgrounds. I've found out how to highlight important phrases to tie in the colour scheme and also how to separate text from title.
