Analysis of double page spread

Picture
The picture on the right page (long shot) stands out the most on the page, this is because it is the only thing that is in colour. The woman is wearing a red dress, red is a harsh colour so this makes it stand out from the rest of the black and white. In the picture, again like in the contents page the woman is showing alot of skin, this portrays females in a negative view again. There is a black and white banner at the top and the woman is posing in different ways, she is still wearing the same dress but the picture is in black and white so this brings more attention to the larger image of her.
Colours/house style
The colours of the font that has been used on this magazine are black grey and blue which contrast with what the R&B artist Solange Knowles is wearing.As the colours of the fonts that have been used on this article not very bright or eye catchy this shows that Solange Knowles is the core of the magazine. Her name is written in blue in the heading, this shows that people may not know who she is and therefor need to.  The blue colour makes it stand out more.
Layout
On the double page spread the author of the article has used a pull quote of what is in the magazine, this would lure the reader in even before they have read the article. It has been written in a large, bold font (the same font that has been used through out the magazine. I feel that the picture has been placed in an awkward position as it is placed in between the article, this would interrupt the visual syntax that a reader usually will have when reading an article.
Headline
There isn't a large masthead on this page but there is a quote in bold writing that would make you attracted to it, the important words are highlighted which shows that it is an important concept for that page.
