The document provides tips for developing a double page spread to attract an audience. It uses a full-width image of the artist Alys on the right page with the article text on the left to focus attention on both separately. Pull quotes from the article are made larger than the text to catch the eye and encourage reading more. An interview format is used for the article to allow the artist to directly address the audience using informal language and maintain their interest.

2. IMAGE.IMAGE.
I used my image right across the two pages, but I took this photo in a certain way, to
Ensure that Alys was clearly seen on the right hand side, and the wall and graffiti to the
Left of her was covered with my article. I wanted her here so that she was clear and not
Covered in writing so the reader can focus on her and the article seperately. From my
Research I noticed that the reader first notices the image, and so if I made this clear
And noticable then they are also likely to read my article.
PULL QUOTESPULL QUOTES.
I have used two pull quotes within my article, and I made them bigger than the article
Writing so that they would stand out, and catch the readers eye, making them want to
Read more about the artist. I have also included a small advertisement at the bottom
Of the image, to encourage them to buy her new album.
ARTICLEARTICLE
I wanted to attract the audience by letting them directly hear from the artist, so I chose
To do an interview, as I thought that the reader would prefer to hear directly from the
Artist themselves, using informal language that they can relate to and feel relaxed while
Reading. I thought that my audience would get bored and stop reading if it was just
Simply a write up on the artist, but they may feel more of a sense of communication if
It is written in this format.
