Music magazine, double page spreads.

This is a double page spread of the Florence and the machine NME addition. Half of the page is taken up by an image of Florence herself this indicates to the readers that the article next to it is completely about her. It has USA in the background of the picture which could signify something about the article. If you didn't guess from the image that the aticle was about her, her name is clearing written in blue to give you the final clue as to what it may be about, her name is also the same colour as it is on the front page and the red continues. The titles of the article is one of Florence and the machines song name's 'you've got the love'

This is a double page spread from a vibe magazine. The main image is a picture of beyonces sister solande Khowles clearly stated in the light blue writing on the left hand side. The main image is in colour which contrasts with the background images which are also of Solande but they are in black and white, they may have been made black and white so that they don't detract you r attention from the main image itself. The background images are of Solande in the same outfit just in different poses, the poses and positioning of Solande make her seem fashionable and model like. The pictures look like she is going to a party and is dancing which could suggest her music is quite fun and party like. The main headline mentions that she has a famous sister which is not hard to guess who when they both have the last name 'Khowles' however it is saying forget beyonce who we know most people love, which gives her high expectations that she is good considering they're comparing her to beyonce. As a whole the layout of the double page spread is well set out the images and writing do not clash and some of the writing stands out more than others. The main picture also stands out and is makes it obvious who the article is about.


The rolling stones magazine yet again have kept to their rock theme and in one of their double page spreads have an article about kings of Leon. They have also kept to their house style with the colours red and black. 3 quarters of the page is taking up by a picture of kings of Leon themselves making sure we know who the article is about. Because it is a question and response double spread they have put 'Q&R' at the top in the same font as the cover they have also made sure that the questions and answers/responses are clearly seperated by changing the question to bold so that they stand out more. The colours on the picture are quite dull with their only being a bit of light, the band our wearing dark colours and rock style kind of boots which again fits the magazine genre.
