Double Page Spread Analysis (1)


This is a double page spread from a rock music magazine focusing on a band being represented by an equal amount of images and text. The article is picture led due to the large main image filling the left page along with a few smaller images along the bottom of the double page spread. The selection of images all follow the same sepia/black and white tone. The article text font is small, sans-serif and white which is a popular choice to use in a magazine editorial. It looks clear and formal which makes it easy to read, encouraging the reader to enjoy the magazine. The headline is also sans-serif, bold and in block caps which enhances it. The red leading capital at the beginning of the article stands out because the top and bottom line of the headline uses the red colour too - this follows the house style colour theme. The images are not staged as the leading photos is shot at a live event where the band, MCR, is playing. The headline is a quote which is a good thing to use in a magazine because it directs straight to the band. As well as the text and images, there is not a lot else on the page except for a vertical banner and a puff in the top left corner of the double page spread.
