double page spread 2

This is my second double page spread I am going to look at and analyse. This article is about ‘The teenagers’, this is a band. I think that this article would be attracting teenagers to read the article and also people that are interested in their music.

There are many images on the double page spread but the main image takes up half of the page and the people that are in the picture are the band ‘The Teenagers’. I think this image looks like they are teenagers and they are trying to be a teenager and portray what a teenager does. This way the band is relating to the audience/ the target market. I like this image even though it is a dark image (like a teenagers room is like) it still has the light coming in on the main features, the face and the body of the band. This is because it enables the target market to see who the article is about by not just reading the mast head but looking at the picture as well. The little images are also good because they break up all the writing about the band and make it more eye catching because people will read the text to find out what the picture is about.

The masthead is good because it stands out and catches the attention of the customers. This is because it is big and bold and has a background of the colour blue which makes a contrast between the blue and the black. This is a good technique to use. I think that I will use a contrasting background on my masthead as it will allow people to read it easily. I also think that the font is good because it would be attractive to teenagers that will be reading the magazine.

The colours used on this double page spread are blue, black and white. I think that they have chosen blue because it is a boy’s colour. So I think that this article is mainly targeted at boys, this is also because girls wouldn’t be attracted to this double page spread. The colours stand out because they use a dark colour which is black and bright colour which is white and also a colour which contrasts them both which is blue.

I like the feature of the banner down the side of the screen this is because it tells the reader what everyone is talking about so it is giving them an update on what is happening. It tells the reader things about different bands and artists. I think I might so this on my magazine because it is a bit different and it breaks up the page.
