Double page spread analysis


This double page spread feature one image that is spread across the two pages. The focus of the image is to the right which draws your attention to the right. The image is quite raw and edgy which reflects the genre of the magazine which is DJ and street music. The font used in the interview is simple and white, this means it is easy to read and follow and can be seen easily, unlike a darker colour. The question is written in bold which allows the reader to easily distinguish between questions and answers. The text is laid out in three columns, written over a dark brown grungy coloured square. The interview features a brief introduction to the artist which gives background information into what the article is about. I don’t believe that this double page spread is very successful as it is rather basic and doesn’t enhance the artist and make it appeal to the target audience. The audience isn’t clear from what is shown on the two pages as all there is is the one picture of the artist in a street. The spread could be improved by moving the text around so that it isn’t three blocks of text, currently it looks very worded and un-interesting however with a more up to date and interesting picture the double page spread would be immediately more eye catching and significant. Taking into consideration these points I would rate this magazine as a 6/10.
