This is an analysis of 4 double page spreads.

1. COLOUR SCHEME
The colour scheme to this double page
spread is very simple. It is mainly black,
white and red. The ‘J’ over the right hand
page is in red, this stands out over the
white background and the black font.
IMAGE
There is only one image on this article. This
takes up a whole page, this can reflect
importance. Half of his face is lit up by a red
light, where the other half is lit up by an off-
green/blue light. This could represent two
different sides of jay-Z and how he this article
may make people think different off him. The
fact Jay-Z has sunglasses on covering his eyes
suggests he may be hiding something. Unlike
your usual celebrity who stares right into the
camera, Jay-Z has decided to be different and
stare directly into the camera however not
allowing us to see his eyes. This may put us as
the audience feeling uneasy. His emotion is
very serious and his lips are slightly pouted. This
could connote some anger or a sense of how
serious he takes his career. You can also see Jay-
Z wearing a necklace which appears to be
leather with some gold on it, this is typical of a
rapper to be wearing some flash jewellery.
FONT CHOICES
The font on this double
page spread is very simple
this contrasts with how jay-
Z is posing due to him
looking serious, the text Is
very heavy and in depth.
LAYOUT
Unlike a typical double page spread
the image has taken over a whole
page. The fact the image is on the
left shows you see this before
looking at the text, this is because
once you notice There is a clear
divide between both pages of this
double page spread. The image is
set clearly on one page, whereas
the text is written out fully on a
separate page.

2. COLOUR SCHEME
The colour scheme on this double page
spread is very dull. There is a major use of
black and a dull cream/grey colour as the
background. The pages however both have
a similar overall tone to them, this brings
both pages together.
IMAGE
The main image takes up a whole page of
the double page spread. It is an extreme
close up and you can clearly see his
expression/ emotion. You can see the artist
is staring directly into the camera this could
show a sense of having no fear. You can
see the artist is wearing a chequered shirt
unbuttoned, we can also see his necklace
which looks like leather. This shows a
typical indie look. His hairstyle is quite
messy/shaggy like, this represents his
personality and individuality
FONT CHOICES
The headline is large and takes up
a lot of the space on the article.
The use of different sized words
draws our attention to certain
words which the writer wants us
to read.
LAYOUT
The layout on this double page
spread is also a typical double
page spread. The image is on
the left hand side taking up a
whole page, this could
represent importance. The title
takes up half of the right hand
side page with a large amount
of text underneath, this is
unusual and shows there must
be an element of importance to
the title.

3. COLOUR SCHEME
The colour scheme on this double
page spread is white, black and
red. The background is an off-grey
colour this isn’t pure white so
connotes something more grunge
like. The fact Lily Allen has a red
and black shirt on her makes her
stand out against the background
showing she is the main image.
IMAGE
The main image on this double page
spread shows Lily Allen towards the
right of the page leaning forwards
with her hands on her hips. This gives
us the feeling that she is relaxed In her
environment and that she is
comfortable within herself. You can
see her tattoos in this image, this
shows her individuality and her way of
expressing herself, along with this you
can see her using her hairstyle to
express herself as it is individual and
unique. Her makeup on her face is
quite simplistic however she has dark
eyes which stand out and tells us she
isn’t afraid to show her personality
through her looks. She is also wearing
a relaxed shirt to show she doesn’t
feel the need to dress to impress
people. Overall looking at how lily
Allen has presented herself through
this image we can see she is unique
and has an individual grunge style
identity.
FONT CHOICES
The font used on this double page
spread for the main title is white on a
black blocked background. This
makes the title stand out more so it is
more noticeable. This contrasts with
the title as it says about Lily Allen
being an ‘attention seeker’ yet this
title attracts/seeks attention. The
fact the title uses different sized
letters shows a variety in the
magazine and this could reflect the
variety in Lily Allens music or the
diversity in her personality.
LAYOUT
The layout is a very typical layout
for a double page spread. This is
obvious as Lily Allen is the main
image on the right hand page. The
title is very big and clear to see, this
draws attention in and allows the
reader to see clearly a slight insight
to the article and what it is about .
There is also an introductory line
which tells us what the article is
going to be about. These features
are all key to a double page spread.

4. COLOUR SCHEME
The colour scheme is mainly
different shades of pinks with
black font. The colour pink
connotes feminism which is
what Nicki stands for.
Her outfit is zebra print this
tells us she is different and
unique.
IMAGE
The main image is just off the
centre of the double page spread,
with text surrounding It . Nicki is
posing for the photo as this isn’t a
relaxed stance, this shows the
interview may be more formal.
Nicki has her arm rested on the
title and her own name. The fact
she is leaning on it may represent
ownership. The image has been
placed where it is so it stands out
from the rest of the text and shows
her individuality. Nicki Minaj’s
makeup is very full on, this is
usually how we see Nicki Minaj.
The fact she has bright pink lipstick
on also shows the fact she is girly
and contrasts with the pink font
and background.
LAYOUT
The layout of the double page
spread is very typical due to the
fact it has text all over the page
surrounding the image. The Title is
bigger than the rest of the text
especially ‘Nicki Minaj’s name this
is so you can clearly see who the
article is about. The image is just
off the centre of the page, it is
therefore still clear to see. The two
pages connect into one as there is
no initial divide we can clearly see.
FONT CHOICES
The font ‘the gospel according
to’ is similar to the writing that
is used in the bible, this is also
represented when using the
word ‘Gospel’. ‘Nicki Minaj’ is
written in capitals and bold
block writing. This is so it is
easy to see and clearly stands
out as the whole article is about
Nicki.
