Double page spread

Double page spread

• 1.
  Headline The headlineof “Don’t look down” creates a sense of intrigue with readers who should be eager to read the article to see why that particular heading is used. The headline is a play on words as Sam Smith is looking down from the balcony and is directly addressing the audience by looking straight into the camera. Overall impression The double page spread looks appealing and the target audience will like how it looks because it is eye-catching due to the large image and colourful sub-heading. Main image The main image is of Sam Smith on a balcony. He is quickly becoming an instantly recognisable figure and his growing fan base will love this article. His genre of music is pop and that has a large target audience. He is looking down which links in with the headline. The “O” of “down” is also dropping down . Sub-heading In blue font to make it look more appealing and links in with the paintwork of the balcony. It also links into the text that says “blue eyed soul” which is what the article believes his genre is. His name is in black so it stands out amongst the other text. For those who may not know him, it is the first time his name is mentioned. Text The start of the text is made very clear by having a drop cap which is identical font to the font of the title. The font is quite small and simplistic because the rest of the double page spread is creative so the text doesn't need to be. Use of space Around three quarters of the page is taken up by the image which is what the majority of the target audience is likely to prefer to text. There is just one column of text. Quote The quote “I feel like a balloon” is very small and quite difficult to read. The quote links in with the image because its like he has risen to the top of the balcony. In the quote he describes himself as a “balloon” which also links in with rising as balloons rise to the top.
