ANALYSIS OF DOUBLE
PAGE SPREADS

2. POP MAGAZINE
Title
The title of the magazine
‘Carly’s Confessions! Has
purposely been chosen
by the editor as it
alliterates and rolls of the
tongue when read. It also
contains the ‘confessions’
which draws the reader in
and creates a scenario
where the reader
believes they have an
insight into the artists life.
The coloring of the text
contradicts one another
and again draws the
reader in sub consciously.
The font is also large and
clear to read as younger
a younger demographic
shows that younger
people like information to
be quick easy to read
and accurate.
Background
The background of this page
relates to the demographic
which in this case is usually
female teens that are into pop
music and studies show that the
specific demographic enjoy a
light feminine colour palate and
in this case it is pink and orange.
This colour palate is very light on
the eyes and does not distract
the reader away from the
article. It can also convey the
season in present time of the
article being published such as
summer.
Main Image
The image shown across the double page spread is of the artist posing as a fun average
modern day teen. The image purposely tries to make the artist seem comfortable to relate to
modern day teens such as the clothes hair and even accessories such as the roller blades.
The fact she is shown bare contradicts the title of the page which is ‘Confessions’. This tells
the reader even though the artist looks innocent in the picture she has secrets and
confessions also.
Text
The text shown in the
article is concise and
paragraphed which
breaks it up making it
seem easier to digest and
intake. It is shown above a
white background to be a
convenience to the
reader and only shows
color in the sub headings
to navigate easier.
Sub-Images
The sub images are the extras
and add-ons of the page to
show a little extra about the
artist themselves whether it’s a
backstage breakdown to a artist
interview.

3. CLASSICAL MAGAZINE
Main image
The main image on this
magazine is of 4 men
dressed up in odd suits.
Presumably to suit the
fashion or the ‘craze’ at
said time period when
this was published. The
image also the
background in one
which is rare that
happens as modern
magazines have a main
image and a light
background to go with
the main image or even
to contradict it
depending on the
circumstance.
Background
As mentioned before in the Main image the background and Main image are one to give the subtle effect and to
create emphasis on the main image. The background in general is black and can relate to space hence the weird
costumes worn by the artists themselves. The lighting contrasts as at the bottom it is lighter but significantly gets darker
as it rises which again can relate to space theme.
Text
The text shown is white in
correspondence to the
background which is black
and gives the article a big
emphasis no matter how
much text there actually is.
It also makes it clearer and
easier to read.
Drop Caps
There is Drop Caps used at
the start of the article to
create more emphasis on
the text and what is being
said. It almost makes the
reader want to read on
and keeps there attention.
