Analysing existing double page spreads


The article title is in grey and gold which relates back to the clothing that the band in wearing in the photo. There is text underneath the title harder to see against the faded picture in the background. The text for the article is black and on a white canvas, but the most important parts or quotes have been put in bold or highlighted so they stand out. The questions have been put in bold to make clear the different parts of the article this also breaks it up a bit.The picture has been edited to show who the main person in the band. The others have just been faded in to the background. The one that has not been faded out his stance is strong and it is like showing that he is the main one in the band. The man on the right of him still has strong body language is saying yeah I’m in the back ground but I am as much part of this band as he is with the hand expression he is using. The women on his left her body language is very sexy and she seems relaxed around him as she seems like she is leaning on him. The man to her left he is just standing there like he has been put there and that he has done what he has told.


This is an unusual type of font that is normally used in normal magazines. The style draws people’s attention to it as it is very different. The effect of having a quote for a title makes the reader feel more as they are speaking to the celebrity. The main part of the interview is in smaller text and is structured in 4 columns to make it look like an article. The colours that Lily Allen is wearing relates to the colours used for the rest of the article, she is wearing red and her name has been printed in red. The image of Lily Allen fits in well with the concept of the article as it is all about her and it is not a conventional picture pose and this relates well with the title as that is also not conventional. They have used a big picture so it strikes peoples attention. The body language in the picture looks very confident as her hands on her hips. It suggests that she is demanding the reader’s attention.
