This is a double page spread from a magazine which style I would like to use in mine. Clash magazine is a publication which is dedicated to new artists and has smaller festival events. I like this double page spread because of the image on the left hand side of the page. The sharp blue shapes and mirrors make the artist look like he is hidden and his music reflects who he is. The masthead tells the reader the artist's name, and there is a quote underneath, which could possibly be some lyrics from a song of the artist. There is a standfirst with the letter J, which is the singer's initial of his first name. I like the way the J is repeated from the masthead, and I could use this technique in my article. The text body has not been justified and has been left aligned left, and this could show the casual attitude of the magazine, which reflects the attitude of the readers. The text is also in the middle of the page, along with the title and quote. This makes the casual attitude seem formal in a sense. There are uses of graphics in the bottom right hand corner, which is an arrow that tells the reader that the article continues onto the next page. In the bottom left hand corner, there is the word Clash next to the page number and there is also something in the top right hand corner, however I am unable to make out what this says. I like the use of little graphics, and although they may not be clear, they give the page more character and make it look less plain.
