6. Glamour double page spread
This double page spread is filled with a picture of the celebrity Kelly Osborne, its an interview with her
and just so everyone knows it is she is shown over both pages. Most double pages spreads are laid out
like this so that it becomes one big page which is something different to look at and might make people
stop and look. The text is written bog and in a bright bold colour this is so that people will attracted to the
interview after seeing the picture of her. The first thing readers look at is who the article is about and the
pictures of the person. This is why they are the most dominant things on the magazine pages. The title
and sub text on the left hand side are both on a slant just to make the page look a bit different. This
article is about the fashion side of Kelly and the sub text explains exactly what the whole interview is
about with credit to the writer. The text below the title is in black because its will be the last thing people
look at when they come to actually start to read the interview. The main text is in pink which is the colour
women are associated with, and because the magazine is about glamour and the interview is about
Kelly’s fashion it works and links with the magazine.
