Inspirational Double Page Spreads

From this double page spread, I love the layout: how the main image is on half of the page with a black and white effect. I love the pose of Lady Gaga, how she is looking into the camera giving the audience a connection to her. If I could steal this I would but i know it would be difficult to get my person to pull of the same pose as Lady Gaga. The huge red 'l' on the page , standing for the first letter of the artists name stands out a lot, if I could I would steal this and use it on my magazine. I like how at every beginning of a paragraph there is a bigger letter for the starting word, it stands out a lot and gives guidance to the audience as to where the new paragraph is starting. I also love the way her name is at the top of the right hand page of the magazine, it shows to the readers who is featuring in the magazine.

From this magazine cover of Florence, from Florence and the Machine. I like the way her pictures features through the two pages and her pose within the magazine, it shows strength and beauty. I love how part of her lyric is featured on the page 'got the love'. The huge 'USA' in the background which is then followed by 'got the love' it is clear that this double page spread is on how the 'USA got the love' for Florence. Like the other Double Page Spread for beginning of the paragraph, they have made the first letter much larger and in a fancy font so that it stands out to the reader and guides them to the start of the paragraph. I love the use of colour in this double page spread, how the Florence is in all black, but sat on a USA flag which is red and white, her hair makes this stand out. The colour scheme works very well as the text used in this double page spread is grey and black and the background being a dark white/grey colour.

This magazine, is my final inspiration as I love the way the whole of the right hand page is a collage of Adele, featuring in various poses, which are mostly funny and are her pulling faces. It brings a sense a nature to the artist, and makes the reader aware that she is just a normal person. I love the way this magazine is set out, the use of colour between the interviewer and Adele. I also love the way they have pulled a significant quote and placed it in the middle of the text, in an italic font. I love the way, the colour red is worked around parts of the text and a prop that Adele holds in her collage. If I could steal something form this magazine I would pull a signifcant quote and use a collage if I could get my model to take enough photos.
