Double-page spread researchImage- The image contains a vintage type feel which is visible from there clothing and photographic effects. This links to the bands music and attracts an audience who take interested in retrospective culture. Also all the band members are looking intensely at us (especially the lead-singer/guitarist at the front) which means it can me noticed if glanced upon. It also creates a connection between the reader and the subject, so he/she is less like to ignore it and so he/she does not forget about this article/magazine. Headline/text- A bold
capitalised title is used to represent the band. This gives off an element of seriousness and realism. The Order and austerity of the main body of text however seems to contradict the order used elsewhere excluding a brief overlap of an abstract shape along the bottom of the magazine. The designers may have chosen to this so the reader isn’t distracted from the information in the text which is its primary purpose of this whole double-page spread. Another sign of where technical codes have been used is the Drop cap and
Colour scheme/abstract shapes- The colour scheme is consistent through-out this whole double-page spread. Abstract shapes have also been randomly added to complement the blue which can be occasionally found. It also creates an unique style which could be used to distinct this article from others. This could be seen as unconventional and goes against the technique of order commonly found in magazine layouts. The colour of blue is used in contrast to the slightly decaying yellow used to represent ageing and links to the theme of vintage culture.
Double-page spread researchImage- I think the image spanning the whole spread really intensifies the whole page. As soon as the page is open, a burst of colour and passion is visible. Even my peer noticed from the seat next to me and said “Wow, they look like there having a good time.” This supports the idea behind the importance of the image in my double page spread. It needs to be able to draw attention as the primary idea behind an article is to inform.
Text- There isn’t much text in this double-page spread however, these 2 pages may be the opening spread for a 4 to 8 page interview. I may choose to do this myself.
