Research into similar product - double page spread

this double page spread is from Rock Sound magazine. I think that this double page spread is effective for a few reasons. Firstly, the colours such as black and white on a grey background nicely contrast each other, making the text visible. The title of the magazine is also effective as it uses different font sizes. 'Absolutely' will catch the reader's attention, it will make the reader want to read the article. Furthermore, the use of pink throughout the title highlights important elements, which make the reader have more interest in the article. The layout is effective as the text and image are on separate sides which means that the page looks more organised. The title spreads out onto the left side of the page, showing the link between the artist and the article which is important, as the reader will know who the article is about. The body language of the star suggests that he is confident, which shows that the article may be controversial, or about the personal life of the artist. The subheadings within the text are on a white background which separates them from the rest of the text, and introduces new topics or questions.
