This document provides analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of two double page spreads in a magazine. The first spread is praised for having writing, color, and images that fit well together, an eye-catching main image, and inclusion of page numbers. However, the second spread is criticized for having too much background color and distraction in the images, images that are low quality and don't fit well with the text, not enough written content, and a poor quality main image with bad lighting. Suggestions are made to improve the layout and use of color.

1. Analysing Double Page
Spread-out

2. This is a really good
double page spread
out. The
writing, colour and
image fits really well
with each other.
The caption is really
good, and it includes
page numbers which
are key in a magazine.
The image is really
eye-catching. Its bold
and interesting and
each person is
looking at the
camera.
There is no disadvantages of this as it looks very
professional and well laid out. However, there are
so many good points on this, such as the catchy
cover line, in red, which stands it out and the
capital letters in the text.

3. The images in this
double page are awful
in my opinion. There is
too much background
distraction and
colour, which doesn’t
fit well with the
writing and quotes
from each person.
There is too much colours which
makes the page look really
packed. The smaller images are
bad quality, like too squished or
the lighting is too dark.
The use of page
numbers are okay, but I
didn’t notice them at
first because they don’t
seem to stand out.
There isn’t enough
writing for a double
page spread out.
There should be a lot
more written
information than
that as from what I
can read, it doesn’t
tell you anything
really interesting
about the people.

4. The lay out on
this double page
spread out
doesn’t link. The
image doesn’t fit
with the writing
as there's no
interaction. If the
picture was
places in a
different position
and not
separated onto
the next page the
in would work
better.
The image has really bad lighting. There's nothing
really eye-catching or standing out in it as the
quality of the photo is very poor. The masthead is
very good though as it stands out, but there is no
cover line to interest you to read more.
Also, there are no page numbers, which are key
to a magazine!
The background colour
of the left hand side
shouldn’t be black, I
think that’s what is
making the image and
the text not link.
