Here is my second double page spread analysis it is talking about a band called American Gothic.

Colour

The double page spread is black and white to create the old gothic feel. The writing is down the left hand side and is white to blend in with the black background so it can be easily read by the consumer. In the title "American Gothic" the word gothic is brown it blends in with the white and black but i think it doesn't blend with the other two colours. the picture of the man is white which makes it blend in with the church. The gothic feel throughout this double page spread clearly tells us what magazine we are buying which is clearly in the rock genre.

Design

The double page spread has been set out in this way to give a Gothic effect. This has been done by using numerous amounts of key factors for example font, colour, pictures, ect. The colour is black and white and this alone gives a gothic impression.

Picture

The picture takes up nearly the whole double page spread, unlike most other magazines which normally take up around half. The picture is black and white indicating it is a dark/gothic. And there is also a church which shows this is a gothic magazine.

Overall I would say that the whole black and white layout portrays the type of music the magazine is about realy well.
