double page spread

now i am going to look at double page spread. i have foind two really good but different pieces to show the differences.

the first one is off Lily Allen this one is totally different because it is set out to be a newspaper article rather than a magazine, this breaks the convections of a typical magazine double page spread. the title is really striking and it caught by eye as soon as i looked at it, but also because it is a quote from the extract this also helps it breaks the convections. also it is different because there is only one picture and in typical magazines you generally get 3 or 4.

the other one is from express yourself and this is totally different from the other one because it is set out to look like a magazine. there is one picture at the bottom that the words work round i really like this idea because it is different but looks nice and eye catching. it is also different from the other one because it has got more than one picture. the title is big and bold but again very simple and eye catching.

my double page spread are both similar as they have a big title to get the readers attention.

in my first double page spread it looks like they have used cuts from a newspaper which is different because not many magazines do they, which will certainly get the readers attention as soon they open on that page. they have also used a well known celebrity which will make people want to read about her and what she has done. there is quite alot of white spage which is very normal for a magazine but they also dont over load you with a huge story so you dont get bored or put of reading it. lily is making eye contact with the reader as she looking at them directly but from side on.

in the second double page spread i have chosen the title is big and bold and in the colour pink which catches your eye because it is different but because it is bold it make you want to read the story that she is premoting. the structure of the text is revolved around the image of the girl led on the floor, they have done this to use a frame around the girl. they girl is looking at the reader the same way the girl was in the first one from side on, they have done it like this to make contact with the reader. they have also used small images around the side to make the article more interesting but also if they have been at a different location, or if they are premoting something. they have used a text box in between the two pictures to show us how much money she has spend and what on, so that we can feel like we know her and want to read all about her.
