HeaderThe header is being placed at the top of the right hand side of the double page spread, this is because the image is on the left hand side taking the whole of that side place, the next thing the reader will be attracted by is the heading of the double page spread. ‘Beady Eye’ is the heading, presenting in the biggest writing on the page and being the brightest on the double page spread itself. This also makes it simple for the reader to interact around the page.

Main ImageThe main image presented in black and grey, making the main image contrast with the background and the colour convention going in the double page spread. The main image complies with the colour scheme as it flows with it all. All of this suits the style of the artist presented on the double page spread. The main image is contrasting with the page a lot.

Main Image, this takes up the whole left hand side page. As you can see the main image was planned for this page but the image doesn’t have direct address to the audience and this is different to other magazine double page spreads. The image is not interacting with the audience, the way the image is portrayed, the reader may think that he could be sharing something with them but not looking at them. The image is also in black and white, this doesn’t generate colours to attract the reader and doesn’t generate that much bright colour and take the focus away from the magazine or the article.

Main Image looks relaxed and chilled, and this is what the reader the be like, reading this in a chilled place and being relaxed at the same time. The reader would enjoy this because how the conventions are just flowing in the right places.
