Double Page Spread 

 

 

 

This double page spread is conventional for the type of genre of Dance and Club Music.

The second part of the headline is bold and clear against the white background. This creates a bold statement for the article, making the reader want to look at it. The headline consists of two different fonts and colours creating a contrast which not only expresses the key information of the headline but connotes a contrast in the genre again. The words chosen in the headline do not make complete sense to any reader therefore intrigue the reader to find out more.

The stand first in this double page spread is quite long, however it offers a full brief into what is in the article.  The mix of short and long sentences allow textures within the this piece of text to again make the read more interesting too the reader. The byline creates a connection between the writer and reader to make the article more personal.

When reading the article I felt as though I was reading a piece of persuasive in the way that once reading it, I felt as though I want to have the same experience. The demographic audience are young people with a club lifestyle who like to party and this article allows them to find out about the next experience they can have.  I enjoyed reading the article as the langue used is exciting and fun which reflects the music genre. “The plush party destination” would be a typical example of the language persuades the reader with this exciting language.

The mode of address in this article is very personal and connects to the reader in a way that is different to any other informative article. This article tells a personal story of the writers experience as the approach is friendly. The article doesn’t use a lot of jargon which makes the article less technical and allows a more pleasant read.

So this tells us the reader is likely to be a person wanting to be part of this experience therefore the article  allows an insight to this certain experience to entice the audience to become part of it. 

 

The use of a lot of pictures in this article is a little unconventional however is conventional for the demographic audience of young people who would have visually see what they are reading. The use of bright colours and people smiling entices the reader as It lights up the page, brings it to life and also sets a fun tone.

The photos on this double page spread are positioned like the contents page as both pages use the small write gaps in-between photos to make them easier to look at and to make them stand out more.
