This double page spread is very creative and catchy, the page consists of Solande an artist on the right hand side of the page whilst smaller images are placed behind her, this suggests that the double page spread is all about her and is most likely going to be an interview, there are other conventions in this double- page spread that suggests this also.

The images used in this double page spread could represent her being the centre of attention and the double page spread revolving all around her. A black and white effect was used for the smaller images whilst the larger image is bright and eye- catching. This interest and entices the reader even if they do not know who the artist is.

Pull quotes are a specially treated copy that is drawn out from the main body of the text, this is another convention of a double page spread and can be used to create added interest in the spread. This is because usually the most interesting quotes would be used adding to reader curiosity, the pull quote used in this spread is beside the artist, again suggesting it is about her whilst explaining the image. The subhead used is briefly explaining the spread or again adding interest, the colour added tells the reader her name, these are subtle ways to make the attract the reader.

The caption also helps a curious reader find out more about what the picture is about.

The heading used in this double page spread is named ‘Rock Or Role Queen’ this is a creative play of words as the words ‘Rock ‘n’ Role’ is made into a question and therefore is intriguing to a potential reader. The title of the story leaves the readers already curious about what the story is about. The font used for this heading is sans- serif black but all in capitals, however the question mark matches her glasses which makes the heading more engaging.

The image used for this double page spread is simple, the lady appears to be peaking from her glass’s and looking mysterious, this would intern make a reader curious about what the article is about, her clothing matches the colour scheme on the double page spread which makes the page look sophisticated and catchy. The image is of a young lady which could attract a young audience, however because of the heading, it would most likely be an audience who is fond of ‘Rock n Role’ music.

A pull quote is placed in the centre of the main body of the text, this is because it could be an interesting quote that might arouse a readers inquisitiveness.

I am very fond of this double page spread because of the image used and the font. It has a very simple layout, however the message is very clear. The artist standing besides a graffiti background suggests that he was probably from a working-class background and was someone who used to break the law, but his apparel suggests that now he is now well-off. This could therefore attract a working- class reader, someone who feels they can relate to the artist.

This spread consists of the subhead, This is used to briefly explain the spread or again and might also be used to lure the audience into reading further.

The heading on this spread corresponds well with the image used, it has a graffiti style and the words are slightly distorted, this gives the heading a ‘grimey’ look and could reinforce what genre the artist is representing. It is important that everything on the spread works well together.
