This double page spread has been taken from an indie/alternative magazine. The band featured in this double page spread are The Last Shadow Puppets. The story is about Alex turner (from Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (from The Rascals), working on a new band project together called The Last Shadow Puppets.
Similar to Kerrang magazine, this magazine has used a black and white photograph, and a headline which graduates from a dark orange to white. It's quite a similar layout to the previous double page spread. With the band members pictures quite large in comparison to the text size of the story. The image shows Alex Turner facing away from the camera, with a "bad" attitude, Miles Kane is looking straight forward at the camera with a slight smile on his face. Turner's physical expressions are saying to us 'back off', whereas Kane's are quite welcoming. On appearance, the photograph and headline stand out a lot more than the story, this is mainly so that it attracts the eye of the reader and pulls them in to read more about what's going on. There's a small text summary in a bold font, with some orange words, but mainly white. It sums up what is going to be talked about in the story. The text is in a smaller, normal sized font.
Techniques used in this are again, similar to what Kerrang have done with their magazine. They centre the story in the middle of the photograph and the headline. This is used to pull the reader in. The summary box is there for a quick read, so then the reader knows what has been written about, and if they even want to read about it. The contrasting colours of black, white, grey and orange make the text stand out, so that it doesn't look boring and uninteresting to read.
