Music Magazine Double Page Spread Analysis II:


This double page contains one single photo, accompanied by a single bloc of text. The photo shows a group of people, none singled out from another, the image is accompanied by the title 'The Chapman Family' which is bold and at the bottom of the image, where it does not interfere with any of the people in the images. The bloc of text on the right is on the subject to the right, it is seperated by a large quote in the centre, so that to the reader it appears more easily to condense. The quotation is both bolder and in a larger font than the rest of the text. It is also seperating the bloc of text. The Image spreads to the second page, which again links the two pages, this again remind the reader that it is a double page spread.

Music Magazine Double Page Spread Analysis I:


This double page spread uses one main picture as the background, with the key focus of the picture, the person, offset to the centre, so that he is not in any way covered by the text or titles. The fact the picture is spread over the two pages shows the reader that these two pages are linked, there is a large percentage of text present on the page, however it is arranged as an interview format, which has the question in a much brighter font, with the answer given by the person being interviewed written below. The page numbers are shown in bold at the top of both pages, and are easy to see, which makes it easier for the reader to navigate. The picture of the artist is present on the right, the text is isolated from the photo by being written on a brown background.
