Double Page Spread Textual Analysis 02

[Image scanned from August 2008 Issue #112 of Rock Sound Magazine]

• Similar to the first, this double page spread has the headline and a small description of/introduction to the article on the left hand side, and the main article on the right hand side.

• The font colour is also white which stands out against the blue background of the image.

• Unlike the first double page spread, the writing on the page is placed around the models of the main image, which gives the page a more dynamic appearance.

• The mise-en-scene is quite natural and summery, int he fact that the main part of the image is of the blue sky and all of the models are wearing bright, summery-looking clothes. They also appear to be in some sort of park (evident by the bench at the bottom of the photograph).

• The models are all jumping up in the air, and looking happy and like they are having fun, which compliments the ideology and 'happy' image of the band. They are also photographed at a very low angle, which is making them seem very confident and complimenting their apparent happiness.

• To attract reader attention the article has a drop cap, which is where the start of the article (in this case, the letter A,) is made to be larger than the rest of the article so that it stands out and reader attention is drawn to it.

• The ideology of the magazine is shown by the inclusion of the magazine's name and logo in the footer, (which also shows the page number), and this is a very conventional part of the double page spread.
