Real Media Artefact - Double Page Spread - (2)

In this double page spread from the magazine NME the feature is made up of mainly one powerful image. The image of Florence Welch the woman in the article catches your eyes as the colour of her hair, set and outfit are bold against the grey and white backdrop. The image takes up the whole of the left hand side of the feature and also begins to seep onto the right hand side. The woman in the image Florence Welch is a well known singer for her cover of the song "You've Got The Love". The magazine here has tied in the title of her song name into the feature heading. Th article is about Florence taking on the USA and being successful as the article is titled "Usa Got The Love" playing around with the song title here will get the audiences attention and is appropriate to the article. The font for the heading is in the colour grey and is used to look subtle and to contrast against the bolder colour red that Florence is sitting on and has in her hair. She has direct contact with the camera building up a personal relationship with the audience. She is positioned above the ground on a raised platform or box to show her higher celebrity status than the photographer. Her body positioning on the platform is very feminine as her arm is resting very relaxed off of her knee and her other hand is propping her up for support. Her legs are also in a very feminine positioning as they look very curvy and relaxed and her pose looks very natural and effortless. The outfit she is wearing is a skin tight play suit with very high black heels which shows that she has got a very good sense of style and fashion.

The text on the right hand side starts of with a drop capped D which allows the readers to establish where the article begins. This D unlike the rest of the article is also in the same curvy and feminine font that "Got The Love" is in. The text in the feature on the right hand side is also split into three columns which have been aligned to the left. The use of doing this means that the text looks separated out and not all clumped together. The columns of text gradually get longer, this doesn't overwhelm the audience with information but grabs there attention and then once they have grabbed the readers attention the more gritty writing is easier to read as they are enhanced in the writing. The writing itself is hard to decide whether it is formal or not as there isn't any slang used however the topic itself isn't very formal. The Style and whole set up of the magazine is very sophisticated as the page is not at all crowded with images ans text but instead has a structured layout that allows the text and the image to work together.
