Double Page Spread Analysis

This double page spread really inspires me. I love the layout of it and i also love the font. The way Lily is standing is quite simple but it looks really effective and gives off "attitude". Lily's clothes also co-ordinate with the colours on the magazine, which is a good idea, so that the magazine doesnt look too busy. The writing underneath the font is very small. However this is a good way of doing it, if you want the headline and the picture to stand out. I think this is by far the best double page spread i have looked at, because compared to the others, it looks really good and is quite simple to create.

Double Page Spread Analysis.

This double page spread of Q magazine has a real interesting picture on it. I would say that the target audience for this magazine is men aged between 25-35, because the picture of Madonna would probably attract men more than it would women. I think that when creating a magazine you need a interesting action photo of someone rather than a boring photo of someone just standing there. Although sometimes it can look good but only when it's done properly. The colours are interesting but i dont like the orange because although they have made it big i think that some people would till find it hard to read. I love the way they have made Madonna's name stand out from everything else. The writing on this page is very small which again some people would find hard to read. So thats another thing that i dont like. The black background used is good for the bright colours to stand out a bit more than they would on any other colour. The picture of Madoona really inspires me and i would love to have something similar on my magazine.
