The Double Page Spread

First Page

Second Page

The theme of the double page spread is still very fitting with the magazine in general, even though i is distinctive and somewhat distinguishes away from becoming too similar with the other pages. It fits the conventions that it targets with the use of a black background, creating a more elegant touch to the magazine and since black is the darkest colour existent, it also makes the magazine gain maturity which can affiliate itself with the older audience.

There has been a good range of photos used of the artists both in their casual attires, to let the readers feel more in touch with them; and in their smart attire which can capture the interest of the reader and add authenticity to the magazine. This appealing to the viewer further as it encapsulates their own dress styles and traits.

The images also range from capturing the artists with rehearsed poses and smiles and a direct mode of address, which is always standard in every magazine to have; but also captures them with natural poses where they may not be smiling or may not be looking into the frame, which adds authenticity and also a very sensible, sophisticated and mature touch to the magazine as the reader is just as sensible, sophisticated and mature to not need to always be pulled in by a direct mode of address but instead admire the artists' natural look and feel as if they are one step closer to understanding them.

The font and colours of text all fit into the brand identity of the magazine, where we see black, white and gold being the colours most present. This is an important aspect as it ensures that the magazine always stays true to itself and sub-consciously reminds the viewer of which magazine they are reading.

Apart from the correct register and standard English being present in the pages there is also the presence of a floating quote, captions, a main title, language devices such as rhetorical questions (Who are The Teachers?) etc, that all mean to pull in the reader and get them to feel as if they understand the artists more, or get them excited to know and understand the artists more.
