Music Magazine Double page spread Research

This double Page spread is eye catching and colourful. The thing that automatically catches my eye when I look at this double page spread is the image of Justin Bieber, this is because he has been placed in the centre of the double page spread and he is looking out towards the readers. The image is also eye catching as the image fills the whole of both pages and the writing is placed ontop of the image.
   I can tell that this magazine is mainly aimed at girls as the page is mainly pink with a little white underneath the masthead to make it stand out as the writing is black and also pink. Pink makes me think it is aimed at girls as it is a very feminine colour, and the image of Justin also makes me think that it is aimed at girls as most of his fan base are girls and the masthead says "Crazy about Biebers Body" and girls would want to read about Justin and his body.The key words in the masthead are coloured in pink, "BIEBERS BODY" thes words are in pink and also bold as they are there to stand out as they summarise the whole of the article and girls would want to read on as soon as they see these words. There is a few smaller images on the double page spread, these are also there to attract and they are linked with the text, the writer has included a picture of Justin Bieber shirtless as they know that this image would attract the girls attention, this picture is also relevant to the text as the whole article talks about his body.
   The text on this double page spread has been set out in boxes, each of the boxes talk about a different part of his body, this makes the magazine look alot more organised as it is easier to find key information and easier to pick which thing you would like to read about as each box has its own little heading. The boxes are in two different shades of pink which also looks more organised as the lighter shade of pink has been used to show where the quotes are. The quotes summarise each box incase people didnt want to read masses of writing.

This double page spread is eye catching as the images are of two members from one of the biggest boybands around right now, they catch my eye as they are both looking out to the audience and are standing casually and look unposed. They also catch my eye as they look as though they as though they dont belong and they look quite insecure, this may make people want to read on and find out why they are posed like this and why they have the facial expressions that they have. The Colour scheme of this double page spread fits with the mood of this story, the colours used are grey, white and blue these are quite dull colours which reflect a sad depressed mood, i know these colours have been used to link with the story as the quote in the top left says "i felt like i didnt fit in" which also seems like a down, depressing quote, the other quotes used also seem to fit in with this mood.The Editor has used these quotes as people look at those first to see if the story seems interesting and if the quotes are interesting then the readers will want to read on and find out more about the story. The text for this article has been set out into two columns, one for each member of the band, this makes the magazine look much more organised as its easy to see which column is talking about which band member, the magazine looks even more organized as each column has been split into small paragraphs which each have a little heading which says what the paragraph is about. The text helps the image to stand out more as the images have been text wrapped and do not go over the image which makes the image more clear to see, although a quote has been placed on each image we can still see the two images and we can still see who they both are.

This is a double page spread from a music magazine featuring pink. This is a typical double page spread as the image takes up one full page and the text fills up the other.
The image of pink is eye catching not only because it takes up the page but because she is looking out to the audience this may make the audience feel connected. Pink is also eye catching as she looks as though she is laughing, this may make the audience want to read on to find out why she is laughing and also find out why she looks so happy. The image of pink also stands out as the image is on a black background, and a black background is used to make images stand out. Pink has blonde hair which stands out more as the background is black, she also has bright coloured earings which are also eye catching on the black background.
The double page spread looks neat and organised, this is because the text has been arranged into 3 neat same sized columns, this makes it look more proffessional and easy to read, the editor has included a bit of text on top of the image, this bit of text may describe the image a little more which may give an insight into why pink looks so happy in this image. The text at the top of the page says "cash for questions" this may catch the readers eye as most people are interested in money, and they may want to find out more about what this means which may entice them to read the article to find out if there is more information about it.
