Double page spread analysis -

This double page spread is very plain and simple, with hidden clever techniques. The image is the most important and effect thing about the DPS. The image is of the band ‘The Black Eyed Peas’ - however, the DPS is just about one of the members Will.i.am. This is why each of the other band members who are slightly further back are faded, with Will standing clearly in front in full colour. The image slightly goes over onto a second page, which is very effective to look at
The white background works very well with the other neutral looking colours on the DPS. It makes the page look very classy and stylish. The headline ‘Will he won’t he?’ is a pun on hiss name ‘Will.’ The black text written over the image is not very clear as it is not bold enough. The main text on the right hand side is written all in one column, which may make there seem like there is a lot more to read then there actually is. The quote in the black box stands out a little but too much as there is not a massive amount of black on the page. Although the image is very clever and effective, I do not think I will be setting out my DPS like this.
