Double page spread analysis

Double page spread analysis

 This double page spread features the band 'U2'. The majority of the two pages is taken up by the low angle, mid shot picture of a band member gazing away from the camera. This body language/shot connotates importance. In the background bright lights are shown to show fame and again importance. Overall it is a bold picture which makes a statement about the bands attitude. 

The quotes in the text are highlighted in orange which will aid the readers in finding the information they want to read. The writing and overall look of the pages fit into a general colour scheme which is understated yet still sends a message to the reader that this band is big.

The second double page spread is from 'Q music' magazine and features 'Them Crooked Vultures'. These pages are primarily taken up by the image of the band, which is a mid shot of the three of them looking up away from the camera.  

The other half of the page is taken up by a statement which is well known, this statement links in the the band name of 'Them crooked vultures'. The picture of the bird across the statement also fits in well with the general name of the band.

The colour scheme is dark and moody, possibly connotating the style of music. The red white and black fit together well and also go with the masthead of Q magazine.

This final double page spread comes from the Kerrang magazine and features the band 'my chemical romance'. like the other double page spreads, it features a main image that takes up about a page. In this image the artist is looking down, with a serious look about his body language, which signifies the genre of this music to be heavy metal/ rock. This idea is complemented by the other images of the band looking very serious and passionate about their music, the images are black and white which helps emphasise this idea.

The general colour scheme is simple as it only uses one strong colour, red, along with shades of black/ grey and white. This gives an element of class to the page.
