This Music Magazine double page spread is of the band 'Black Eyed Peas', this magazine is very unique instead of having the photo of the artist focused on 1 spot of the magazine, it takes the whole left page and the last artist is mainly in the right hand page. There is a colour scheme through this spread of white, black and a light brown colour. and we see the lead singer of the group only wearing this light brown colour as the rest are seen in very dull white, black and greys. This makes him stand out and instantly gives him importance in the group, and the paragraph above the picture titles 'will he won't he' is certainly about the main artist Will.i.am. The main paragraph at the end of the right page is in very small font in black writing, so the main purpose of this magazine was not about the information but more about the photo of the artists where our eye is instantly drawn to.
This double spread is very eye catching and again seems to be more about the picture of the artist, in this case Lilly Allen, rather than the information it obtains in the paragrahs. there are 4 very small paragraphs on the bottom left of the of the double page spread, these seem to have some importance as all the image and big title are spread around it, so it almost centres the whole double page around them small paragraphs, even though they are not in the centre of the page. the main title " People think i'm an attention seeker, but i'm just honest" has been done in a very eye catching way, the style it is in is like they have cut each letter out of another magazine or newspaper, it steriotypically represents young girls who would do the same in their diarys and it is also a quote so it seems more to be out of a girls diary, who in this case would be the artist on the right Lilly Allen. the colour scheme that goes through the spread is red, black and white, this makes the red seem to stand our more as balck and white are very dull colours, so it makes Lilly Allen  more eye catching so readers will straight away be able to identify what the spread is about.
This spread is about florence from the band 'florence and the machines'. the colour scheme through out is mainly black and red but there is also touches of grey in the spread. The information is on the right of the page so it seems to come second after the image, so instantly our eyes are drew to the image of the artist sat on what seems to be a box with black and red striped sheet over it, which appears to be the american flag. this links to the large writing which goes across the 2 pages which says 'USA', which shows that this magazine is an american magazine aimed mainly at the american audience.
