Double page spread analysis

For a double page spread there is a lack of writing. There are only two columns of small printed information and a column of questions and answers on the side. I do however like that there is not a lot of writing as it makes the page much more attractive, and it looks readable to I would be more willing to read it.

The quote on the page looks really good as the color scheme and everything works really well. I feel that my double page spread would work well with doing something similar as it adds something extra on the pages, and makes the page as a whole more attractive.

There are a lot of picture throughout the page, and all of which are black and white. This makes them seem more old time, and brings back the feeling of an original Rock N Roll band. The other pictures on the page are also black and white and are like a scrap book as they are all linked together. I quite like the use of images however, I feel that they are too dark, and considering they are a rock band, I don’t think the images are loud enough and do not relate enough to the genre.

I think that this is a nice double page, however. I do feel that it doesn’t break any rules, as a rock band should. It keeps to the conventions of its media base, and doesn’t go against the system as it should, so I don’t particularly like it.

I really like the image on this double page spread. There is only one image which can be strange for a double page, especially for someone with the personality of Gaga. This image shows her nude, with a chain necklace and her covering herself up. It’s also black and white and in my opinion, gives her a more classy look, and adds feel to the spread. This image could show her in a feminine way and make her seem almost defenceless, although I feel it shows her in a powerful way as this is the only image!

The only color through both pages is the large L centring through the text. I feel this adds a amount of life into the spread as it’s very bright, simple, but extremely bold. I feel this does break the rules of a double page spread, although it does keep to the 3-color scheme. I do really like this and think that the L works really well.

The text on the page is long, and split into 3 columns. I feel that this text does look long, however, I think that the large red L does break up and fragment the text so it does look much more readable. The font is simple, very stylish and adds a lot of maturity into the text. – Something that Lady gaga is not famed for, therefore this breaks the basic rules of a double page spread. This does have genuine character and I really like it.
