Coursework - Double Page Spread

The magazine headline on this double page spread is written in bold to make it stand out, not only is it purposefully composed like that but it is set to be positioned on a slant in order to create an effect that isnt average or boring. The most successful feature about the headline on this page is that the writers have incorporated it within a quote from one of the band members, "We're being the best MCR we can be", this adds a catchy feel to the page wanting the reader to read on.
Amongst the title on the left hand side of the page the header, "world exclusive" suggests that this magazine interviews people artists and bands from around the world which helps with its unique selling point and allows for the reader to trust in the brand.
With magazine prices and sales failing this magazine has become up to date with including a web address to link readers to an online site, where more information can be provided. Placing it on the popular page of the magazine ensures more readers will see it thus upping the ratings online, which is esstential in this technology growing world.
This double page spread is consistant in presenting various images of the band to help the reader visualise and connect with the text they will be reading. Most of the images are representitive of the title of the piece "The best we can be" as it shows the band hard at work, adding to their growing list of fans.
Lastly in the top right hand corner is an informational box about the band, providing key facts, new song titles and tour dates for the reader. This is vital in showing the magazine takes an interest in the band to provide such background information, again allowing for the audience to trust in the brand.
I would say that this is a successful part of a double page spread, the colour scheme is consistant and they have shown a personal interest in representing a band of importance.
