MagazineDoublePageSpread.

This is the first double page spread that i am going to evaluate. It is from the magazine NME. The first thing that i noticed is that the image used has been displayed on the page by a full body shot and taking up 3/4 of it. The editor displayed it this way this way so that you can see each band member clearly and that none of their heads have been broken due to the page split. Also as the image dominates the page this will attract people who prefer to look at picture than to read. As the image looks very large compared to the text it makes the text look very small which hopefully will make the buyers read this article. I also noticed with the image that the lead singer is shown in bolder colours whereas the three other band members have been blended into the background. The reason for this is the article is all about the lead singer so he has been made to stand out the most.
Also i noticed that at the start of the text two bright arrows are pointing in the direction of the start. This is done as you automatically look in the direction that the arrows are pointing therefore makes you look at the text and hopefully read it.
