Look Magazine Double Page Spread Analysis

 
Above is an analysis I have conducted of Look magazine double page spread. By doing this I am able to see what other magazines of the genre I am following have done so that my double page spread reaches its best potential.
The layout to this double page spread is very different to the ones I have previously looked at, because this one has smaller articles relating back to the main article in comparison to the other ones which are just one article. There is another title on the left hand page half way down written at a slight slant with a white background covering up part of the model making the title clear. There is a clear difference between the articles on this page due to the sub headings highlighted in orange clearly separating them.
The title is located at the top of the page in big capital letters following the usual conventions of a double page spread by grabbing attention this way. The title is in black apart from the middle word “big” in the different colours, orange pink and red, this makes this specific word stand out against the rest of the title. The insight to the article is at the side of the  article where the eye direction of the reader would follow on to, this is different to the other double page spreads that I have looked at because the insight to those are situated underneath.
The colours used throughout this article are orange, red, white, black and pink, these colours are all colours that when used together are quite summery but more of an exotic summery associated with morocco and places like that. The text is mainly black with important parts in red and are slightly larger, apart from on the left page where the text is over the model so is in white so that it is readable against the colour of her hair.
Looking at this double page spread has given me some ideas about my own because of its difference to the others that I have looked at.
