Music Magazine Double Page Spread Analysis

I like how this double page spread has split the two pages in half, with one side showing just the photograph, and the other showing the writing. I like how simple it is, using just a few colours (black gold and white) and a font that’s not too fussy.

I like the simple and natural picture used, and I like that it has been taken outside rather than in a studio. The concrete pillars behind them give the reader an idea of the band’s image (rock music).

I think this double page spread should have used a title as I think this would make it more interesting and draw in more readers.

I really like how this double page spread has taken the main colour from the photo (green) and used it in the skyline at the top of the page. I think this is a pleasing and simple effect. I like that the magazine has chosen to use a photo of the artist laughing, I think this shows that they are relaxed and friendly and that the interview will be the same.

I like how the article fits neatly onto the page, I think it looks well presented and pulled together. I also like how they’ve used a drop cap at the beginning of the article.

I like what the magazine has done with the photograph on this double page spread – highlighting the band member who the article is about and fading the images of the other band members. I think this instantly draws the reader in and you can see straight away what the article will be about. I also like how the article itself is positioned on the far right, and continues onto the following pages, and I like the use of arrows at the beginning.

This double page spread also includes a pull quote from the article, and it has been highlighted in black with white writing.
