Heat magazine double page spread

Heat Magazine

Large photo taking up one whole page, becomes clear who the article is about. The heading takes up another half of the next page adding reffernece to the large photo, however both items take up so much space that less text is left to put on the page.
An enhancement for the story is placed on the bottom of the first page overtaking a small section of the photo.

The colour scheme is in keeping with the magazine, using reds and yellows shows that its still Heat magazine. If usuing this idea with my production piece i would be using these colours for my piece as its part of the design of the magazine and therefor another colour would not suit the style.

Due to the large photo on the page there is less text to analyse however a small box split into two shows off opinions of the people involved. If i was to use this in my production piece i could use it too show of the opinions of the fashion critiques or the opinions of the readers on the day.

Less quotes on the page doesnt add enhancement to thier story, their evidence is based upon the limited photo's and the article iteself to justify their claims. The article text is minimal however the "story" is continuas and doesnt split across the page.

The first line of this article however is in pink- complete contrast to the rest of the page and the colour scheme they have used. It doesnt fit into the page and looks like it shouldnt be there at all. The same pink colour is used to higlight the word REALLY mide article which again makes the word stand out but not the reason it is aimed at.

(include two picture of the highlighted pink words and sentance )

Positive to this magazine is that it shows more sides to hte story, doesnt just include the gossip section it trys to show off the different reasons behind the event and give a split opinion. This could work for my production piece as it can show that the views of the country were split however they all vary.
