Double Page Spreads

Double Page Spreads

A large section of the double page spread is taken up by images. These are simple yet effective and the artists stand out well against the plain backgrounds. This also reflects the indie/scrapbook feel of the front cover and contents page.

The main body of the article is in a standard black font with a white background. It is aligned to the left, unjustified and sans serif. The typeface for the larger text seems futuristic and this

reflects the type of music that the band produce. The text underneath it is in a bolder font to that of the main article so it stands out and offers a taste of what’s going to be included in the article. The green, although not used a lot, adds some brightness to the page and highlights the name of the band and the interviewer they’re talking to.

There is a lot of text on the page. It is broken up by the image at the bottom and by the large serif font used for the ‘A’ at the beginning of the article and in the second column of text. The ‘A’ is coloured whereas the rest of the text is black this also makes it stand out.

The image on the right is very dark, this makes the artists faces stand out. There is a pull quote from the interview. The text is fairly large and is a serif font & because it’s white it stands out against the dark background. It is a quote that will draw the reader into the interview as it talks about them ending their career if the make another bad record.

The left image features the lead singer of the band. It is very simple and she stands out against the plain, dull pink background.

The large text introduces and draws the reader into the article. It takes up a lot of the page and the use of the pink from the background of the left image on the ‘I’ and ‘L’ blends the spread together well.

The text is all aligned to the left and unjustified. It is clearly broken up into columns because there are lines running between them. The font used is sans serif – all of this means that it is easy for the reader to read and follow the article.
