Double Page Spread Criticisms

This magazine double page spread is successful as it is presented as a piece of art and looks like one page, instead of using the two pages separately, the magazine has made use of both the pages to make it look like one. The use of the backdrop is a good idea as this makes the page more attractive and eye catching and the image is good as the artist is looking straight at the camera, making the buyer feel involved making the magazine more attractive. The use of a border is a successful idea as it makes the page more attractive, eye catching and different. The text is presented as orgainised and nicely spaced out which makes the double page spread more successful. The subtitles are used in a different background colour which makes it stand out and look more attractive. I like the idea of using  the pull qoute as the masthead, as this will interest the readers more and stands out to the readers as this is in the largest font. However, I dislike the way the magazine has presented the mise en scene as the grey colour is boring and doesnt contradict the other colours and the use of the colour pink doesnt go with the other colours or the theme. The photo is boring, as it needs to be more excting as they are trying to present the artist as a rock star, therefore he should look more punk or as an example should be holding or smashing up an insturment to interest the readers more and present the artist of more of a rock srar, the magazine has only used one photo, which I will not include in my magazine.
