The image of the band takes up the nearly the whole page and it has been positioned on the left hand side with the texts on the right hand side which has a simple font to it and has been structured out well, so it prevents readers of getting mixed up. This make the double page look professional and has a nice simple style to it, also it wont confuse the readers.

Colours being used in the double page are grey, white, black and red. These colours are very complex. The audience will focus on the picture of Florence. The light colour of the background stands out well also red is the brightest colour on the page and it will bring audiences attention , the colour red on the silky cover matches with Florence's hair. Having red hair was not common once upon a time, but now a lot of females have red hair. Images like Florence may influence the female audience to have the self confidence to dye they’re hair red. The size of the font is small enough to fit onto the page. The text starts with a big bold capital letter and its in black, this makes it look professional and it stands out to let the audience know that this is the beginning of the article. This image of Florence is aimed at men, as the clothes that she is wearing brings attention straight to her legs and her breasts where it has been covered with cones. In the image Florence give a ‘sexy’ pose, and to give this effect she has purposely positioned her leg in a way that can grab peoples attention. She looks straight at the camera with a gaze this it the way she communicates with the audience. Florence is sitting on a stage which includes stairs and she's climbed to the top and sat on it this may symbolise her achievement in her music career. It is quite hard for a British artists to take part in the USA charts.
