Double Page Spread Research 1

This is the first double page spread I am researching. This double page spread caught my eye because the main image is a photo of a famous band. The image covers one page and is bold and bright so it catches the reader's eye. The main image is used as the background on one of the pages, which is similar to the other double page spreads i have researched. I like how the editors have put comments and facts about the band around the image. They have made the text boxes the same colour and font as the text on the opposite page to match. It also matches the actual title of the band 'The Teenagers'. Also with this particular double page spread there is link between the image and the title. The photo of the band shows that they are quite 'layed back' and lazy which matches the title of the band because thats what teenagers generally do, lay back and be lazy.
Another good point about this double page spread is that the text font and colour are all the same. This makes the whole page look proffessional and has had a lot of time spent on it. The text font size is not too big (which makes the page look unproffessional) but it is quite small but there is a lot of text anyway.
One point that I noticed when I looked at the page is the colour scheme. The first thing I noticed is that the editors have changed the colours on one side of the page. I also noticed how the editors split up the page and put something completely irelavant to the band 'The Teenagers' and seperated from everything else, by changing the colour of the background to black instead of white or blue.
