Hey blog!
So I talked about some of the elements in the double page spread and today I’m going to talk about the rest. All that’s left to analyze is image, secondary image, captions, folio and gutter. Let’s begin.
Images:
The image bleeds over both pages. It has one side with people in it while in the other side it seems like the image fades into black so that there could be writing on that side. I’m sure that wasn’t just luck but the image was edited for the writer to be able to type on the other side. The artist “Harry Styles” seems to be singing at one of his concert. He stands out with his yellow shirt, blue pants and brown shoes. This tells us that he is the central theme here, that he is what this magazine is about.
Secondary image:
These are images that support the main image. In this case this image is of an album cover. Which makes sense with the headline “WALKING THE LINE”. But this articles and headlines is more for people who are really into his music so they would understand better about what is going on. This image also uses blue which matches with the yellow, blue and black color scheme going on. I also noticed that since the image has a black background they used a white border so that it could be seen better.
Captions:
For the first image the background is in white to be seen over the black background. It’s better to use a bright color because a dark color would blend in with the background making it hard to read and easy to miss. The other caption also uses a being color, yellow. Although this is small we can still see it somehow and be able to read it in the. Magazine.
Folio:
In this spread the page number isn’t included but it doesn’t include the tittle of the section of the magazine. In the table of contents it had the name of the sections and the tittle of each article. And the one in left hand corner it’s this article sections tittle. It’s written in a corner so that it doesn’t bother the reader as this really isn’t important to see as they are reading. They already have an idea of what is in the magazine that tittle is just a reminder of what they are looking at.
Gutter:
This is the space that connects both page together. Around this space there shouldn’t be any writing because it would be harder to read the page folds there. Because of the gutter, the caption, pull quote and headline are written just a little far away from it because it would get lost if it is put there. I did notice that there is a white space between them but you can’t see it because it is use as a guide to paste the two pages together.
You may wonder why is there no subheading or byline. Well, from what I can tell there is no need for subheadings as the article is just beginning and there isn’t much writing to begin with so putting subheadings would just make the page too heavy. And I’m assuming there is no byline because they already put it somewhere else in the magazine and they just felt there’s no need to reiterate on the rest of the magazine.
That’s it for the blog!
