This double page spread really stood out to me, because of how simple yet effective it is. The image and headline are obviously the main eye catching parts of this double page spread. Lily Allen is a very well known ‘trouble making’ character so having her name as the main headline just would not be necessary. Instead, using a quirky ‘Lilly Allen’ phrase to introduce the DPS would engage the audience much more to what mischief she is up to now. The fact that it is written in a newspaper kind of font, not only shows the chatty style she would talk in but the common and average person she really is. The photo corresponds with this as she is wearing a very casual tartan shirt with not an awful lot of makeup and pretty basic hair. This makes the target audience be able to connect with her more especially with the added eye contact she is giving. The white background just adds to the plain and effective layout of this DPS, not to mention making the black headline, and red shirt stand out on the page. There is a very bold drop down letter to start of the text and is columned into four short paragraphs. There is also a short sentence above to let the audience know what they are about to read, just to make sure they’re interested.
This layout could be very effective for me to do as I am doing another obnoxious character, Katy Perry. However, I feel she has a bit more imagery to her stereotype, so a plain white background may not be appropriate.
