Double page spread Analyse

I am going to look at and analyse a double page spread from a Mojo music magazine. The reason why I am looking at Mojo is because it is the main magazine that I am looking for because it is the perfect theme. This theme is Classic Rock/Indie music. I am going to look at all of the features on the magazine and discuss what is good then tell people what I like about it.



This is a double page spread from the music magazine Mojo. As you can see it includes a main image which is located mostly on the left side with a bit going onto the right page. There is then some text, well quite a lot of text on the right hand side. There is also a large title above the text. The first thing that I notice is the main image. This is because it is big enough to stand out to people but also the colours help to attract the eye. This image is fully coloured. Also the way that the models are positioned is good. This is because the main man is in front, and his head looks dead centre with the left page. This means eyes are drawn to it. There are then three more models standing behind the main one. This again means that there is something for people's eyes to be attracted to. All of the models eyes are directly staring out at you. This could again help to attract people to read the magazine. The main title is nice and big meaning that it stands out to people easily. The normal text is also a good size, it is easy to read and looks good against everything else. There are also some big letters at the start of some of the paragraphs. This helps them stand out and also looks good and conventional. They are also coloured blue which stand out and looks good against a white background.

The main thing that I like from this double page spread is the way that the main image is across the whole of the left side of the magazine. I think that this helps to make it look more attractive and better because there is something for viewer's to look at instantly and then they can move onto the text side. I also like the way that some of the starting letters on the paragraphs are big and coloured. I think that this is a conventional thing to have and makes the magazine look good and more professional.
