Text – There is a lot of text on this double page spread and this appeals to the reader
because it gives them a good quality, detailed article. It is laid out in a professional
way and this works well because it looks more organised when the text is in the same
area of the page. The text is quite a small size be still clear and understandable. The
black font stands out from the plain, white background. The bold subheadings are
effective and this appeals to the reader because they can look at them and decide
which parts of the article they want to read. The black highlighted section of the text
is also eye-catching because it also stands out from the background and emphasises
important information of the article.
Images/Main Image –
The main image works as a background and is very effective. The fading effect works
well to highlight the importance of each member of the group. Because the article is
mainly focusing on Will.I.Am, they make his image clearer than the others to make it
clear to the readers that the article is based on him. The reference in the title of his
name shows the link that the article is about him and he is the most well-known out
of the group. I like how the image spreads over the two pages and is used as a
background. The layering of the individual members also works well and makes it
more interesting.
