Textual analysis of Double page spreads

These are the double page spreads that I'm going to analyse.

1.                                                           2.

   

First I'm going to analyse the first double page spread. For this double page spread they used a picture as the background for both page but the picture has nothing on the left hand side so the columns are put on the side so it doesn't look so empty. For the photo, it shows that that this singer is listening to music which give the audiences some clue about this girl, is she a singer? or is she just a famous person who has something to do with music? They put this photo using her beauty to grab the audiences' attention and make them want to read this page. On the top right of the first page it says her name in red with a special font which looks really stand out so the audiences can see and know straightaway who she is or for people who don't know her or don't recognise her, they will be able to remember and recognise her. For the page number of this magazine is on the bottom left and right corner. In this double page spread, it contains two pictures of this singer, one in high angle shot and another one in mid close up shot. The first picture with the high angle shot show that she is an innocent girl which show her cutie.The second picture that is placed on the bottom left show her sexiness as she's bite her lip. Those two picture show that this girl is not just cute and beautyful but also sexy. 

For the second double page spread, it is slightly different from the first one as the background and the column placed in different way. They use big a photo of the person on only one page with very dark colour for the background. The background colour of the page of the left hand-side is in black but the middle bit is in green. The background colours are suit with the costumes that the person is wearing. On the other page on the right hand-side they didn't use any photos for the background, they used black colour as the background and put the photo of the person on the top of the page so it doesn't look like it contains only text on it. The background colour of the picture is also suit with the picture of the person on the another page. For the title of this page it says Disco Revenge which suggest and give audiences some ideas about what kind of music that the person on that page has interested in. However that way this person dress doesn't look like he has interested in Disco music, it seems lightly to be hiphop more. The standfirst of this double page spread has different font style with the other font text on the page. It also has dropcap at the beginning of the first sentence. On the top right of the page it has a text box that says "interview" with the white background and the black text colour which make them look opposite and different from the background colour of the page. The page number of this magazine is kind of on the side, not really on the bottom of the pages.
