The layout of the double page spread is simple yet effective. It draws the reader's attention to the large main image while also presenting the text in a balanced way. A consistent color theme of blue, black, and sepia tones is used throughout, helping to tie the design together while also making strategic use of color to highlight key elements like the text. Overall, the simple yet cohesive design successfully engages the reader with the image while also communicating the accompanying information in an accessible manner.

1. The main image takes up the majority of the double page
spread, drawing your attention more so on image of the band
than the text relating to the image. I think having the image
slightly bigger than the text is a good idea as, images engage you
into the piece and especially fro a younger target audience they
maintain your interest in the piece of text. The image is in a
sepia tone which is quite dark and gloomy yet I think it works
well on the double page spread especially because blue shapes
have been randomly placed around the double page spread and
also blue text has been used. This blue theme creates a edginess
and uniqueness to the piece and it also bring a bit of colour to

The colours are of a very sepia theme creating an old fashioned effect. I personally think this creates
uniqueness. If the blue theme did not run throughout the double page spread, readers would lose
interest very quickly as it is very plain and boring; yet due to the fact that the colour blue is included
it brightens up the page attracts your attention. I still believe more colour should have been included
and possibly the natural colour of the red colour should have been shown more so.

2. An on going black, white and red theme
can be recognised throughout this double
page spread. I like the fact that there is an

though the title is at a slant.

3. The layout of the page overall is very balanced and
has been laid out neatly creating a smart,
professional look. It is also very simple and plain
and I would prefer for the writing to look more
interesting and for example have certain pieces of
the text in bold making the article stand out more
and look more appealing, especially when aiming at
a younger audience some readers may be put off

4. The layout of this double page spread has been laid
out very well, the main image is on the right and the
large title is on the top left and text on the bottom
left creating a balance. The layout is quite simple yet
the unique title makes up for it.

typical and plain. It is neat, well laid out and
simple to read but it is boring. Although a
balance is created between the text and
