Double Page Spread Analysis (4)


This double page spread from DJ magazine has some conventional and unconventional techniques used throughout. The article has a small photo just before it starts and this is getting more and more used by editors because it shows the person getting interviewed at work or a reaction to a question, this causes the consumer to look at it and see that the person is like everyone else and it shows that they are no different. The quote on the picture is something that has been used for years now as it shows a bit of information that tries to make the consumer read the article instead of just skipping over it like what some people seem to do when they see an article that is a lot of writing.

Some unconventional techniques used in the title going over the two pages but the photo isn't. This is usually the other way around as it the picture should be the main attraction so that should be overlapping the middle of the page and the title of the article should just be on one as it should be just over the article. This is unconventional and may lose me marks so I want be using this technique.

I plan on taking the idea of the image before the article but change its position to show a reaction from one of questions I will ask. The quote is something I will definitely use because it makes the double page spread look a lot more professional and it will improve my marks.
