double page spread research 1

I looked at this double page spread from the magazine ‘rapRadar’ to get a good understanding of what music magazine double page spreads include. The colours used for the magazine have been kept simple by using 4 colours. These colours are red, yellow, light blue and black. The colour red has been used to represent the letter ‘J’ in the middle of the page which is made to stand out from the writing, but also representing the artist they are interviewing (Jay Z) . The red has also been used on the writing on top of the artists picture to make it visible and easy to read for the audience. Half of the rappers face and half the background. The light blue has been used to represent the other half of the background to make the picture stand out. Yellow has been used to represent the logo of the music magazine so it alerts people who’s magazine they are looking at. The colour black has been used in the text to make it easy to read the layout of this has been simple and easy to follow, the image has been places on the left while the writing is on the right hand side. The image used is of a famous rapper/singer to show and indicate who the information is about. Graphics on this double page spread has been used well as the picture has been cut and edited well to blend in with the background.
