Double page spreads

In the first double page spread the picture is on the right and the writing is on the left hand side.
The main focus of this is the title and the picture. However to show that the picture is part of the article it is spread over to the left hand side of the page by her arm which is then overlapped by the title.
The picture is of Lily Allen who is a popular artist at the minute so this could help to attract more viewers. The colour of the text in the title is white with a black background this is a representation of the magazine itself because the colours you think of when you think of the genre rock is black, red and white.
All of the colours on the whole page including everything only use the colour red, black and white. The background of the entire double page spread is white; this is effective because it helps the picture and title stand out more.
The way that this double page spread is set out is differently than the other one. The way which the picture is coming from the left and spreads further across the page than the other one. The colours that have been used in the picture are more darker colours which aren't as eye catching. This is because this is the type of clothes that this genre of music use as the clothes represent who they are. The picture takes up about three quarters of the page and is set out like he is boxed into the page. They have put the main text that you see first as his name, they have put it in white font and placed it over his jacket which has a black arm, this is effective because it helps it to stand out more by the contrast of the colours.
The article is in two columns at the right hand side of the page in black font on a white background, this helps the article to stand out just as much as the picture because the picture is on a slightly darker background so when they are next to each other they both stand out just as much. Whereas is the article was on the same coloured background as the picture is then it wouldn't stand out as much and the picture would draw much more attention.
