Double Page Spread Textual Analysis (1)

On this particular double page spread, we see an image of the group black eyed peas which dominates the majority of this double page spread. The image itself is different to that of most double page spreads that we see in magazines due to the fact that three of the members of this group are faded out of the picture leaving the lead singer Will.I.Am to stand out a great deal more which emphasises the fact that he is the lead singer and also suggesting that the article could indeed be about him. The costume that we see the group wearing is very alternative as they are not traditional/casual clothes and reflect the fact the different style of music that Black Eyed Peas create for their ideal audience. The colours that are used on this double page spread all relate to back to the costumes of the band which we can see by the masthead and the natural nude colours used as well as the arrows that we towards the top right hand corner of the page.

The article we see on this page is not necessarily very long but keeps in the theme of the black text that we see on many magazines but only takes up around a quarter of the page leaving the other three quarters to consume the rest of the page.

The font that is used for the masthead creates the sense of the sci-fi/futuristic style music that the band has recently been well known for.
