Billboard Magazine Double Page Spread

This magazine doesn't consists of the main conventions of a double page spread this is what makes it the most effective. I think that by having one bold image this is the most effective because this allows there to be one main focus point on the screen. by including a basic colour scheme this allows the viewer to have a focus points within the text and the images.

There are mainly dark colours used throughout with the hints of pink and green. this is allowing the pink and green to stand out the most and draw the readers eye. there is a basic style of clothing used on the page. This is allowing the outfit not to draw the attention away from the feature which is Miley.  she is wearing jewellery up her arms this is effective because this is allowing the outfit to be draw together with these pieces.

They have used a column design on the right side of the page this is allowing there to be a convention style to the page. by having one column and not a page that is filled with text this means that it is allowing a brief insight into the artist and by doing this it will allow the feature photo to be more effective on the viewer.

The features in the photo are her shoes and her hair this is effective because this is allowing her to portray her style and therefore allowing her to stand out on the page. I think that by having her looking at the camera this is the most effective because this allows the viewer to feel like they have a connection with the artist.  by using a shot of her sat on the floor and with her having eye contact this means that she is showing her self at the same level as the viewer this is effective as the viewer feels more involved with the advert.

Q Magazine Double Page Spread

This design is effective because of the use of bold colours this is used to allow each aspect of the page to stand out making sure that this is a bold article. the article has been place over two pages with a clear divide between the two. they have used an image on the left with the title of the artist this is allowing there to be a first focus point on the screen. by doing this it will allow the viewer to view this before they look at the text.

On the right side of the page they have used three columns and a title at the top this is effective because the title is the first thing that is looked at and then the quote that is further down the text. I think that by including this it will allow the viewer to see a quote that has come from the artist. they have used red txt throughput the double pages this is allowing there to be parts that stand out. there is a red title at the top of each paragraph this is eye-catching and therefore brings the viewers attention to each part of the columns.

they have used an image of Lady Gaga looking at the camera and she is contorting her back this is effective because this is allowing the viewer to look at the clothe that she is wearing and her hair colour and style. They have used colour's and images that are suggestive of love strength power and sexuality. this is effective because this is what appeals to the viewer. this is also linking to her style which is what her fans look for from her. the use of such bold colours is what makes her style more effective and this is used to help to draw the audience in.

NME Magazine Double Page Spread

NME have used a basic design throughout there magazine. by using a simplistic black and white style on this double page spread this has allowed the coloured areas to stand out more. I believe that by including these coloured features it means that they are bale to have areas on the pager that your attention is drawn to. the use of the colour yellow has allowed there to be a style of energy to be displayed to the viewer. I think that the effective use of colour on this double page means that there are underlying meanings that will appeal to the viewers in different ways.

They have used a double column style on the left of the pager this is smaller than normal designs because they have used an image that overlaps the two pages. I think that this is different because not only have they used a black and white photo they have done it over two pages which makes the design more effective. in the photo they have put the band members in a V shaped height order this is allowing the page design to go down as the high of the band members does. they have used the tallest people at the sides moving into the smallest. this is effective because they are all in basic clothing and the centre member is in a broad knit jumper this is allowing the photo stand out even though there is no colour in it. this is effective on the viewer because this means that the V shaped design is allowing there to be a central focus point of the page which is the man in the middle of the shot.

the use of black and white photography ahs been used to symbolise emotion and this is reinforced  with the facial expressions of the band members this has been used to the magazines advantage because this has allowed them to create another depth and meaning to the article. I think that this has allowed the pages to be more effective and impactful on the viewer as they will look more into the expressions on the band members faces.

Spin Magazine Contents Page

Spin magazine have used a basic design that features two people on the pager. they have used a similar style of clothing on the two people. they are wearing matching suit outfits this is a connection that is made along with the quote in the top right corner of the page. it is used top create a link between he two and the text on the page this is effective because this is allowing the viewer to develop an understanding of the photo and its meaning.

They have used a single column to display the text in this is effective because this is allowing there to be the key points of the magazine to be displayed. by doing this it allow the viewer to see what the main features are. they have used black and white throughout allowing there to be a vintage and old fashioned style added to the photo. this is also emphasised through the outfits that they are both wearing.

The colour navy blue used in the bottom right corner is effective because it is saying who the photographer is this is linking to the photo this is effective because this blue is suggestive of loyalty and intelligence this is linking to the 'She & Him' photo and article. the use of red on the title of the magazine SPIN is suggestive of energy, strength and power this is allowing the magazine to seem powerful and that it has an impact upon the viewers. this is key because it is allowing the viewer to see the magazine title as a bold and important to the contents page. the use of colours have been used on this magazine to allow the viewer to create their own ideas of the meanings of the colours. this is the most effective aspect because this is what is used to crate an impact upon the reader.
