double page spread 3

This double page spread is on the ‘black eye peas’ they are a band that target many different people. When I say different people I mean different ages, people with different style of music and I think this is because they cater for all these people as they do different types of music and many people like them because of this, so I think that people will be attracted to this page and they are a well known band.

The image on this page is very striking, this is because they main singer in the band isn’t faded and the rest of the band is faded. This could also mean that the article is just about this singer that comes from the band ‘black eyed peas’ and he might speak about them a little. I find this picture very effective and I think that is stands out because of the techniques used.

The layout of the page has been well thought about this is because none of the image has been cut of which is good and also the writing fits well on the page. I like the size of text they have used because you can have a bigger picture than writing. Although you can still have a lot of writing if you have the right size text and font. As you can see the image takes up two thirds of the page and the writing only takes up a third of the page. This might appeal to people that don’t like reading much.

The masthead will catch the readers eye and will make the reader want to read the article this is because it is a quote from the article that people don’t know what it is on about so this is a good technique because people will want to read what he might do and what he might not do. So basically it is a question that the reader will want to know the answer and they can only do this by reading the article. I think the masthead could be improved by having at the top because it would catch the reader’s eye more and also if it was bigger and was bolder and a brighter colour.

The colours used on the double page spread aren’t eye catching but they are neutral colours that will attract all different sexes to read the article. This is good because if it was all pink then only girls would want to read it and if it looked boyish then the girls wouldn’t want to read it. This is a good techniques to get both sexes to read the article.
