Double page spread analysis

The double page spread for this magazine uses the basic conventions for a double page spread.  can tell this just by looking at it. There is an article that is spread across two pages going in-depth with the information thats present. With most Double page spreads there tends to be one or more images and with this Double page spread there is just the one image. Now this image has been shot in a way that has the man looking down at the viewers. By doing this it doesn't exactly scream out direct address but it still has an intimidating look to the way they had him pose for the shot.
In this shot he is gazing down at us making him look more powerful and makes him demand the respect of the readers. This is also conveyed through the type of clothing that he is wearing.

In This shot he is wearing a furry jacket which I believe proceeds into the hat and around the back of his neck. Fur on clothing has connotations of an individual stature and social status in society. Generally it when an individual has fur like clothing it could mean that they are of a higher class, this is conveyed through the contrast of the colours that he is wearing along with the type of clothing materials that he is wearing. With the colour of black which I have spoken about before in my previous analysis has the connotations of power and authority. Now with with this man gazing down at the readers I can summarise and say that he is powerful man with a high stature and status with the conventions and connotations that are present in the photo. He is also wearing a silver ear ring which also shows that he is also a rebel in a sense.

The layout of the page is separated into paragraphs which makes it more bearable for readers as it can be quite intimidating staring at a page full with text, with each individual paragraph they have set words in bold pointing out key information that would stand out to readers that they may have wanted to read about by looking at the contents page at the start of the magazine.

Going down the middle of each individual page there is an orange rectangular figure. This i believe is part of the page design but could also be seen as the page divider in a sense. Separating each individual section from one another so that readers wouldn't naturally read along in a straight line and getting confused as to what section they are reading from.

On the second page of the double page spread there is also a message from the main image of this page which also helps readers feel more connected with the articles protagonist in a sense. By having a quote or a message from him it we can actually see his thoughts on the situation rather than reading what someone else has summarised up what he has said on an interview as they may not have been able to understand what he was trying to get across.
