setting of the photo acts as the background from the spread
and relates to the storyline ‘night of the hunters’.
The colour scheme: the double page spread consists of the 3
main colour of red, black and white. The use of black relates to
the headline ‘night of the hunter’ and represents the music
genre of rock as we usually associate these colours with the
loud and rebellious style of music.
The arrangement of the spread’s conventions has been
designed in that the readers’ attention is firstly drawn to the
bold and eye catching title/headline and then to focus on the
image of the featured band who represent the angry and

2. It is unusual for the title to go off the page and makes it an
interesting design feature for the double page spread. Readers are
left wondering what the rest of the title actually says. The layout
of the spread has been designed so that the central focus is on the
photo of the artist and the text rather than the title of the article.
A smaller headline has been included beneath the title which
mentions the artist’s name and gives the reader a small insight
into what the article will include.
The clear layout of spread makes everything fit into place and
whilst there are 2 large blocks of texts, the main image covering
the entire left page balances the ratio of text to picture and this
makes the page attractive to readers who will find the article to
look interesting and encourage them to read further.
The block columns of text reflect the magazines expectation of
readers to sit down and read this large amount of information,
linking back to the magazine’s audience of older mature readers.
In contrast, younger readers prefer articles with less text and
more images. Neither the headline nor main picture cross the
centreline of this double page spread which is unusual of this

the artist whilst the other talks about artist. We’d expect the

3. There is no clear title to the double spread and only includes the
artist name which intrigues the reader as they will have to
continue to read the article in order to gain an insight to what
this exclusive article has about Lady Gaga. The artist’s name is
included on the right hand corner of the page to emphasise that
the magazine spread is dedicated to the artist, reflecting her
importance as an artist and as a feature of the magazine.
Therefore this may act as the spread’s headline
The double page spread is of a unique design because the layout is
unconventional compared to other double page spreads and there is
special feature which appears on this design. The letter ‘L’ is clearly
designed for the artist Lady Gaga and takes over the columns of text,
although the readers can still read over this as the letter is in a
transparent colour. The ‘L’ also acts like a banner for the spread as it
is the thing we notice when we look at the article and stands out
from the page. It is in a serif font to connote the idea of the article
being formal. The red colour connotes sex and passion and relates to
the context of the main image of which we see the artist positioned
in a sexy and seductive way to attract the male audience. The colour
