Double Page Spread Deconstructions- Part 3/3

ETC

This double page spread is from a regional magazine ETC from the North East. ETC stands for everything that counts therefore the contents for this page has to be topic which make people feel better about themselves was this is what really counts. The images therefore are people who obviously feel good about themselves as they are posing in their underwear for a shoot which represents accepting who you are and loving yourself. There are over 200 pictures on this page which have all be arranged into a grid of images which all tie in well together as they all have the same theme running throughout. The images are all posed on a white background and the people standing in front of the white background are all light-medium skinned tone which contrasts with the real bright background. There isn't a particular color scheme as all the underwear are in varied colors, however this doesn't really take away front he fact that the message behind all these images is very strong and something a lot of readers will be able to relate to.

The small columns of text are very inspiration and really make the reader feel good about themselves. The mast head of the page is in two different sizes the word 'every' in in a smaller font that the word 'body' which is fitting as the full page is full of people with their bodies showing, however this really anchors down the whole theme. The main text is on a white rectangle box which poses as the background for the text, The white contrasts with the black to make it stand out and be readable. Various twitter user names are also strapped along the bottom of the page which means this double page spread is interactive and supports social medias input.

There is page number on the bottom of the page which have small white boxes behind them to make sure that they stand out. There is a sticker on the right side of the page which has the twitter logo printer on very faintly but, the opacity is high enough so we can still see what it is. There is a huge social network involvement for this page which means that the readers can have input and share their opinions.

I really this the social media aspect of this double page spread, Therefore I will take this into consideration when making my magazine. I like how the article carries a important message therefore I will also include this into my writing. Unfortunately, although I really like the theme of this double page spread, I really don't think this represents the genre fashion very well, therefore I will have to still apply a message to mine but make sure fashion is present throughout the double page spread.
