Double page spread analysis

This double page spread is unusual compared to other double page spreads from other magazines as it is predominantly picture and less writing. This gives something easy for the readers to look at and with a quote from the article on the next page "we used to get recognised at home as the queers with the tight pants on" most likely make them want to read on. The three colour palette is is Red, White and navy blue/black. This combined with the large image and little writing makes for a fairly simple appearances yet one which is pleasing to the eye. The font of the large quote is interesting and makes it easier to read and it has been said by the lead singer and this relates to the main image which is a picture of the lead singer. The black writing at the beginning of the article has been placed over the white pillow so that it is easy to read and has been placed in the very bottom right hand corner so that people know that the article continues on to the next few pages. Aspects of the central image match the colour scheme of the double page spread. The bible being held matches the red cover and the title, his black/navy jacket matches the darker font in the corner. It seems that the photographer has purposely used flash whilst inside the room to create a pale complexion on the lead singer. This is so that an aspect of his body matches the white of the pillow and the white colouring of the large quote. However I think by doing this they have made him look like he is ill, perhaps he is, I don't know? But it would look better if he had a more wholesome complexion, making the article look more inviting. The room he is in is a hotel room and it would seem to be one of inconsiderable cost. This suggests that the band feel like ordinary people, and don't feel as if they have "broken" the music world.
