Double page spread florence

NME 'Florence and the Machines'.

 

 

The photograph is situated on the right hand side of the page. The page includes an A4 image of Florence, this is eye catching and significant to the page. The large image prevents the page looking too busy with a lot of text, the simplicity is appealing to potential readers. The page set up draws the audience into the image of Florence then down the article in relation to her.

The title of the article plays on Florence's song 'You've got the love' combining it with her current stage in her career, making it in The United States.

It also has USA in very large writing to fill up the extra space in the backround. It is in a pale, light font. The paleness of the font prevents it from standing out too much. This isn't needed because it already stands out due to the size of the text. The text is also in capital letters which makes it stand out even more. This heading implies that the text has something to do about the USA.

The font for the text is a small sized font. This allows the article to fit onto the page. It is also black, which makes it look professional as it stands out against the white/grey background. Also, the font is very clear. This makes it readable. It also makes the double-page spread look professional, because if it was in a fancy font the whole page would look overdone. It gives a very simple, yet effective look.

The article includes a subheading before the text for an introduction to the article. This gives an overall summary and idea of what the article is about. It is in a reasonably small font, but is just a bit bigger than the text of the article, just to make it slightly stand out. It is in a plain, simple styled font to ensure that it is clear and readable. There is also a use of highlighted words 'Florence Welsh' shown in the colour blue, because it is the name of the artist emphasizing that the article is souly about her.  The first letter of the first word is in a big, bold fancy font. This makes it stand out to show that it is the beginning of the article. It also adds to the style of the page.

The colour theme is rather overall dull including colours such as grey, black and white. It also has a small amount of red in the photo. The dull colours contrast with the red, giving the page a nice simple colour scheme without being too busy or on the other side too bland. The red also works with Florence's hair, and the white and red stripes mimic those of a USA flag, which has a reference to the text in the article.
