Double page spread Analysis - louder than war

This is a double page spread. A double page spread is information about a certain topic that is displayed across two pages, sometimes a double page spread could be an interview with someone with an image of themselves on one page and the other page filled with writing about who they are and what they have accomplished in their lives. As you can see on the first page of the double page spread is that their is large image that takes up a portion of the space of the page and writing underneath it with a Drop capital. these pages usually display a high depth of information and on this page in the louder than war magazine it is noticeable that their is  a high level of detail at every interval of the page. However with the louder than war magazine i have noticed that there tends to be more images than on other magazine double page spreads.

The colour scheme with white red and black is present also in the magazine as it is shown across the page, reinforcing the colour connotations that i have stated before and how that can empower readers while reading the magazine. the layout of the page tends to have one image in the top left then one in the bottom right or one on the left and one on the right and vice versa, i think they chose this type of layout to compensate for younger audiences who will be reading this magazine. What i mean by this is that younger audiences tend to like when things are explained through images rather than having to constantly be reading something for about 5  minutes as it can then have the lost in thought and most likely stop reading it. This is shown as it has been researched that people do tend to have short attention spans.

Along with the images i have noticed that there are small sub headings above each paragraph. I think is a useful tool that they have used as it allows readers to understand what the next section that they are going to read is about rather than having to read into a next paragraph and only half way though only then just get the gist of what they are actually talking about. By having sub headings it catches the readers eye especially it being the colour red i find that one of the most useful tools that they have used on this page.

Along with the basic concept of the double page spread they have added a new idea to it that i noticed that other magazines dont tend to have which is them adding  review of song i believe at the top right hand corner there is a big sticker saying review. This is evidently an eye catcher to readers as it enables them to really see that there is more content on this page rather than just a simple contents page. By doing this it allows this magazine however small it may be to full with content and easy to understand and read for new comers and also older fans of the rock genre.

In Conclusion i believe that this page is quite good as it has a  lot of pro's towards it while compensating for both older and younger generations.
