Double Page Spread review.

For my double page spread research, i will be looking at Q Magazine's feature on Lilly Allen. To begin with, the first thing that strikes the reader first are the two photographs on either side of the page. The photo of Lilly Allen is a close up with her eyes looking directly at the reader. This suggests that we are about to read into Lilly's thoughts and find out more about her than we ever have before. Furthermore there is a caption Wild Thing. This is the theme of the article as there is also a panther looking directly at her mirroring the caption.

The colour scheme is very simple consisting of black and white with a hint of pink in the photographs and a bullet point at the start of the text. Although both photographs are very dark and mostly black, they stand out and look bold because they are so simple. The text contrasts well with the background which makes it stands out and grabs the audience's attention.

The only text on show is the introduction of the article. This welcomes the reader and informs them of the type of interview they are about to read. Q magazine also uses more mature language when describing the article which shows the audience this is aimed at is older teen to adult. The text is made to sound humorous and informal with phrases such as "and- oh yes" this gives the impression that the text part of a conversation which is also entertaining to the audience.

To conclude, the overall style of this article is classy and stylish. This is ironic as it contrasts with the content of the opening text. I think it is simple but effective. It is pleasing to the eye because there isn't too much to take in. It is important to keep to the same theme as on the main cover because if the reader is flicking ahead to read the article, they will expect it to be in the same style and easy to locate.
