Analisis of double page spread.

Colour

There are two consistent colours within this spread, a bold yellow and a clean white, these colour choices are suitable as the article is about 'Little miss dynamite' and the SANTIWHITE - SANTA GOLD transaction. the photograph is the under layer to the spread and this provides a wide spectrum of colours that compliment the striking text as they produce a subtle glow but a strong impact on the page.The yellow is used to bring out the more important text / or the leading text that dictates the following dialect and the white is used for the body of text. Both these compliment the overall appearance of the page following through with a cornered off white border and bold yellow additional text boxes.

Layout.

The layout of the page is very specific and this preciseness adds to the overall interest of the page. The page has no clear boundaries which also creates a false sense of direction around the page. The article heading is on the lower half of the left page with the 'Y' and 'E' of 'DYNAMITE' bleeding into the one corner border. Both these features together create a blocked off area within the page for a different sector of text. I think this has been done to provide clear boundaries between the feature article and the extra information. The majority of the left side page is used to hold the image relevant to the article as the picture is quite eye catching in it's self the reader is drawn to the page. There is at the top left side of the right page an open speared arrow which points to the text.I think the imagery on this spread was purposeful and this link was created so that the reader would automatically follow the page from left to right sub consciously.

Text.

The text size and style varies and contributes well to the overall appeal of the page. The leading text is bold and the body text is in a religious times new roman font. This provides a neat and tidy effect which appears vital as there is an imaginary margin alongside the article, this also helps create the fresh, zany appeal of the page. Underneath the article is a pull out quotation, the first part of it is in a medium yellow italic font and the latter is in a slightly larger white italic font. On reading the quote it is noticeable that it is a rhetorical question and the colour change is based on the question and answer. I think this is quite effective as it is still encouraging the reader to follow the article through. in the brief article description under the heading a different font is used completely however the coincided texts do not clash. all of the text in the subheading is in white however the word 'Santagold' is in a yellowish font this is used to establish the colour identity within the page.

Image.

The image of Little Miss Dynamite is the background of the spread as it is a striking and interesting image. the pose of the photo is quite abrupt and is structured in forceful, aggressive manor which replicas the image given through the text.The costume used is suitable to the design and the jewelery is used as a prop to reflect the background of sparkle and lights.The eye contact of the image is focused on the reader encouraging them to focus on the picture. Both the image and the text are designed to compliment each other, giving each other room to stand out. At the bottom of the page is a pull out bit of information by leading singer Mark Ronson. I think this image has been used to also entice readers that are not familiar with little miss dynamite to read it as they may know Mark Ronson.
