The image featured on this double page spread uses the rule of thirds; it is interesting and would immediately attract the attention of anyone who was browsing the magazine. Pete Doherty is lying across both pages and the text fits around him, he looks like a “rocker” from his attitude and the props used such as his cigarette and tattoos on his arms. Pete Doherty’s clothing is very dark and relates to the gloomy surroundings in the picture. The picture is discoloured and enhances the dirty/ rocker theme that they are trying to convey. The text written on Pete’s arm is coloured white to make it stand out, it is also blotted to seem as though he has written it himself. The questions used in the interview are written in bold however the answers are not, this allows the reader to see clearly the distinction between the two. The language used is very colloquial as it is speech from Pete Doherty and he has a very distinct attitude and speech. The image has been planned so that the white wall allows space for the text to be placed and to still be read easily. Photoshop will have been used to get rid of blemishes and problems with the image. This double page spread is highly effective in presenting the artist to an audience that may not have heard of him before. The target audience is clear from the constant colour scheme and the “typed” font. The double page spread tends to focus more on promoting the artist by his image then his words which perhaps suggests that he is not very clever and relies on his appearance. The double page spread image above is of pages 3 and 4, therefore the first two pages are not shown, I do not know how much text is featured on these two pages and therefore could not suggest any other improvements, I would rate this double page spread a 10/10.
