In this double page spread, the use of the colours black and white allow for a gothic style to be formed (which aligns itself with the typical reader of Kerrang), as well as putting a more feminine twist through the use of pink. Perhaps this was used with the intention of appealing to female members of the magazine's demographic, whilst still attracting a male audience through other colours used. This is reinforced through the similar colours used for the drop capital and the questions that are asked towards the features artists, of which not only helps to attract members of Kerrang's typical demographic, but also helps the organisation and fluidity of the structure and layout of the page. The image on this spread allows for connotations to be constructed of darkness and mystery, not only because of the predominantly black costume, but also because of the medium close up camera shot, which doesn't reveal all of her body and limits the presumptions that can be made of her.
One way in which I may decide to apply properties of this double page spread to my own creation is the size and prominence of the image. Despite the image not showing a range of items or aspects of mise en scene, the image still takes up the whole of the left page and some of right part of the two pages. I have decided that the image I am going to use for my double page spread will be of similar prominence, most likely going across both pages, with the positioning of the text going around the image, placing primary focus on the artist.
