This double page spread has a busy layout with many photos spread across the page. The colour scheme is consistent with bold red and black. Buzz words and overlapping text and photos create variety and engagement. Short introductions and images provide insights without revealing too much. The informal style reflects the busy genre of music.

There is a clear divide between the text and the image, making the style
almost like a book. This design appealed to me as my layout in my contents

consistent. I wanted to add more images, as this will appeal to fans of the

Again, there are no pull quotes as the image is large and takes up a lot of
space. The white background is classy and bright, appealing to a more
mature audience.

The style is very informal, as the image is acting as the background for the page.
It gives a welcoming feel, and looks less like a book. Pull quotes are not needed
