Double page spread Analysis

I have now done some research into the double page spreads featured within the magazines and one of the magazines I have looked into is the magazine 'Rewind' again as it closely resembles the genre I am targeting. Here is some analysis of a double page spread within the magazine:

With most double page spreads they often overlap the imagery over the two pages. This is to show the reader that both pages are based on the image featured. It also looks more appealing when you can expand the image further and to make sure that the take is spread out and not crammed onto the one page.

There is another reference to the colour used within the example is the colour of the text associated with the colour of the imagery. This looks like a good idea to compliment the image with the text that surrounds this best utilised on the title on the page with the gold and silver. Another thing to do with the title is the use of a rhetorical question. What this does is encourage the reader to read into the article to learn and perhaps answer what the article is about. It also makes the article seem more dramatic by having the question there.

Another thing that has come up is the variation in effect of the font. Size, bold and highlight are all used within the spread. This is used to do several things such as making the headers and sub headings stand out so the reader can easily tell what that section is about. As well as being used to ensure that the text is not dull and boring and is separated into sections so its easier to manage and read. Lastly, the highlighter can bee used to highlight any key information within the text that you want to bring to the readers attention.
