1. Analysis of double page spreads

2. This double page spread has a sophisticatedlayout with dashes of vibrant colours such asorange, pink and blue. Its text varies in fontsand sizes with a catch phrase in large font toget the topic of the article across by alsocatching the readers attention using a largesized font. There is one main image involvinga women with what seems to be a trainercollection and the other images are singleshots of just trainers. The text is in chunksnext to an appropriate image to go with-easierfor the reader to read and know whatits about. Some pictures are overlapping foreffect and all text is in black so its stands outfrom its white background. 3. This is a double page spread from NME. Itfeatures Sergio Pizzorno (Kasabian). His imagetakes up most of the two pages, asserting hisstatus as musical legend and importance to themagazine. The white space behind Serge ismore-or-less hidden with details on the wall heis stood in front of. He is looking directly into thecamera with his hand against the wall, in a kindof posing fashion. Although he is posing, helooks casual- aligning itself with the general feelof this laid back and current magazine. Also-thereis a sophisticated layout which suggestsits target audience. 4. From this double page spread I notice that there is amain image and three other related images. Text- somein columns- others in quotes across the page, and abold cover line. There are four main columns on the firstpage, and the second just features an image of himsmiling on the photo-shoot. The page features two otherimages with his girlfriend and the other a shot from afilm with a co-star. Both of these images are associatedwith captions beneath and on the cover image there isa quote from the actor in white. There is a simple greycolour scheme with questions in bold, and answers in anormal small sized font with some pink writing inplaces. There is a quote at the top of the page with anexclamation mark that the reader could not miss beforeturning the page. 5. The background colour of this double page spread is alight pink colour which suggest that the target audiencefor this article could be aimed at a female. There is amain image of a actress/singer with an interest infashion which is an appropriate image to use for thismagazines brand name as she resembles these things.The columned text is fitted around the outline of themodels body shape as she is lying down- taking up themajority of the space from the bottom half of the doublepage spread. The colours are quite basic and simpletoo, but the overall article at a glance stands out as thetext begins with an oversized 'T'. However, without theT in the text content the article wouldn't not be asattention grabbing and make come across as quiteplain, in some ways. But due to the arrangement andusage this has been stopped. The colour scheme as awhole is very consistent and fits in with the one imageused as it's really feminine focused and the questionsare coloured in a pink/purple tone which, also, contraststo the colour of the answers which is simply black. 6. This double page spread contains one image coveringall of the right hand side and the text is all on the left. Allof the text is in black except for in the title there is somegrey text which creates a more sophisticated theme butdoes not capture the readers eye greater than some ofmy other double page spread analysis. The mainimage is appropriate to the title as its about makeup sois a profile shot of a woman wearing bright dashes ofmakeup/colour on her face. The text is in three singlecolumns with a sub-heading above it which not onlydraws attention to the article- it almost frames the text. 7. On this double page spread the artist name is in abright colour of blue printed which puts emphasis on theartist as well as telling the reader straight away that thearticle is going to be about Solange Knowles. The useof the black and white images at the top of the doublepage adds variety and explores a better representationof the artist. The way vibe has used black lines throughthe page to help divide the page into two helps to makeit easier for the reader to look at images more carefully,rather than having images and texts scattered on thepages. Vibe hasnt used a drop capital and haspreferred to start off with a small statement about theartist in bold the sharp, short, snappy statement is away of interesting the reader and the statement hasbeen written in bold gives this article a dramatic andmysterious effect. The images at the top of the articleshow the artists personality (fun) with the use ofdifferent poses and again to inform who the article isabout. Most of the text is in black on a off-whitebackground, with the occasional bold blue colour of textto add emphasis of the articles content.
