double page spread analysis (1)

The head line is the same font and style as the main coverline on the cover, it also has a quote from this page on the cover in order to attract the reader to this page. Lily allens name is also in the same font and style which makes it stand out from all the other text. The background is white in order to keep it plain so the readers attention is only on the text and the picture. The picture in this double page spread takes up a whole page, this is a verry common method in magazines as it attracts the reader to the article if they are flicking through and see a large picture of one of their favourite bands or stars. The text then takes up the other page and is started with a drop cap, this is also a very common method in newspapers, magazines and books, they do this to attract attention to the article. The lead is position above the 4 coloums in a lager text size in order to bring attention to it so the reader can see what the text is about. The artists (lilly allen) clothes match the colour scheme of the page so the picture “fits” and looks like it belongs in the page. Lilly allen is looking directly at the reader which shows that she wants the readers attention. At the bottom of the page, like in most magazines, is the page number and the name of the magazine and the date, this allows readers to take quotations from the article and also allows the magazine company to quote from it in the front cover of the magazine or in previous or future issues.
