The document summarizes the key design elements of a 2-page magazine spread. First, the layout places the largest image on the left to draw the eye, followed by text and smaller images along the bottom. This simple but effective layout is not cluttered. Second, the color scheme of red, white and black is consistent and makes elements stand out clearly. Third, the text uses a relaxed tone like talking to a friend, quotes the band, and fulfills audience expectations by informing readers about the band. Accompanying monochrome images of the band playing also familiarize readers with the band and give a sense of being there.

1. 2-page spread review
For this 2-page spread there have
been a few design choices made
to make it as good as it is. Firstly
there is the layout, the page is set
so the eye goes a certain way, on
the left is the largest image on the
page where you look first then
there is the text and finally along
the bottom some smaller images.
For readers this layout is simple
but works well it isn’t cluttered
making it easy to follow.
Then there is the colour scheme; it is all very consistent with the use of red, white and black and
the fact that these highlight each other making them stand out better. For the reader the
colours mean that people will notice the page easier and it won’t be a pain to read.
There is also the text itself and the way it is written. First there is the quote at the beginning this
is in big capital letters getting peoples attention this will get people interested and wanting to
read. But then there is the main body this is all written in a relaxed tone as though it’s talking to
a friend quoting the band every now and then, for the readers this tells them what they want to
know about the band, fulfilling part of audience theory.
Then there are the images these are all done in monochrome (black and white) this is most
likely done to keep with colour scheme of black, white and red. The main image is of a member
of the band playing their guitar at a concert; this lets the reader know whom they are talking
about. This probably goes the same for all the images they familiarize the reader with the band
but also makes the reader feel like they are there, also the fact that they look relaxed goes with
the tone of the article that they are very friendly and nice, this gives the reader a sense of
familiarity and another part of audience theory fulfilled.
