double page spread comparison

extra analysis:

Both double page spread consist of paragraphs, the breakdown of paragraphs makes it easier for the reader as they can take in certain amounts of information at a certain time. Both also contain a balance of visual images as well as text, however the shot types are different, the one of Usher is a mid shot, this allows a clear image of him, his clothing, the closeness of the image allows the magazine to be more "in your face" and appealing as they recognise the artist . The second double page spread there is a long shot of the model, this is done to see her who figure which is an appealing element, you can see the clothing and her body language, the model is standing up right in a dominant pose. Unlike the Usher page, the page with the female artist has more than one picture, running along the top of the magazine is a role of images of the same model just in different positions, this is effective as it shows the movement of the character, showing her different personalities and allows the reader to see the different sides to her. The use of the full length image being the only one in colour makes the image stand out more, when flicking through a magazine the reader will come across a bright big image, making them look at the page more, therefore encouraging them to read the article. Pull out quotes are a commonly used convention for a quick glance, these pull out quotes give an in sight of the artists life, the pull out quotes stand alone from the article, this interests the reader as it is straight from the artist themselves.
