Research into Similar Products: Double Page Spreads

This is my annotated double page spread where I have analysed the layout, font, colour, photography and text which can be used to make a good successful double page spread which can be found in a magazine. All of these features are important to supply a positive impact on the reader.

Layout - 

The page is taken up mostly by the image of the artist . This shows that the artist 'Adele' is the center of attention for this feature. The heading is also large on the page on the left hand side. The size of the heading leaves little space for text - this means that the reader is focused more on the heading and image then the writing. Underneath the heading there is a further subheading - which gives the reader more information what the feature is about without them even reading it. It also comes from the writer, so the writer is known. The Writing is left to the minimum because a lot of writing can be seen as overwhelming and this can unintentionally intimidate some readers. 

Photography - 

The main image takes up the whole of the page - meaning it is the first thing the reader will see when they turn the page on. The image is clear and the reader will know straight away who the feature is about. The use of a close up on the artists face make her purpose clear - she is on the page to tell as story. The image is in black and white, adding a touch of class to the page. The use of black and white imagery reflects the mature and strong look that Adele has. 

 

Fonts -

The font of the heading is bold and strong, but is not traditional. The sharp edges of the font give power to the page and show that the artist stands out. The font throughout follows each other effectively creating intentional coherence.

Colours -

The  the page is grey background with black text, linked with a black and white image of the artist. . The use of black and white on the rest of the page gives it a simplistic feel as the reader is given more time to take in to information with out having to work against overbearing coloured font. The colour scheme reflects the professionalism and class of the artist.
