Double spread article- (Adele)
The double spread article I am going to be analysing is a celebrity insider article from Glamour magazine. The topic of this double spread article is Adele and how her stylist styles her. The target audience of this article is female’s because she talks about how she styles Adele. Antohe reason is because women love fashion, and it‘s all about Adele’s life in fashion and most female‘s find Adele inspirational and an good role model.
The main aspect of this article is the main feature article photo. The main feature article photo is of Adele getting styled by her stylist. Adele looks flawless in the image. This will attract women in thinking I can look like Adele if I do what the article say’s. What’s so special about this image is that the colour is in black and white. This shows how professional the editor wanted this image to look and wanted to create a certain atmosphere. Another reason is that women are not draw to black and white images. Women are more drawn to coloured photos. They will read the text before taking any notice to the image. The image of Adele takes up at least one page of the double spread. This shows that the image is important to the article. It shows how Adele stylist style’s her and how elegant she looks. That’s not the only photo that is featured on this double spread. There is a smaller image of Adele singing at the Brit Awards in her traditions black dress. The reason why they have included this image is so that readers know what Adele look like because this is a full body shot, the other photo is only of her head and waist. This image however is in colour not black and white. The colour image will attract people’s attention more than the black and white image.
Underneath the image there is a quote from the article saying “When a look is working Adele puts it on and feels it”. They’ve placed the quote within the image but at the bottom of the black and white image. They’ve used this quote because it’s the most eye catching part/quote of the article and when readers read this quote they will want to read the whole article and find out what the quote is about. The colour of the quote is white and the background is black from Adele’s dress. This contrast well with the dark background and bright font. You can clearly see the quote with the clear type of text they have used.

At the top left hand side of the double spread there is a subtitle which tell's readers what sort of article this is. The article is a celebrity insider. This means that the article is genuine with real interviews. Some magazine's publish fake celebrity insider so that there magazine can make profit. This subtitle is in bold capitol letters. This suggest that this is the main article in the magazine and they are attracting readers to read the article. However the font size of the subtitle is small. So readers might not read the subtitle straight away.
The colour scheme of this double spread article is pretty simple, plain but elegant at the same time. The colours that Glamour have used are;
- White
- Black
- Orange
The only main colour that is used is the title of the article. They have made one particular word orange which is “Adele’s”. This is to tell the reader that the article is mainly about Adele if they didn’t know who it was in the image.The orange used captivates the readers eyes and will draw people in to read the article, It catches people's eyes. The writing on the article is squashed underneath the feature article photo. This is why the writing is so small is because the image takes up on page of the double page. The size of the font is small, so older women may struggle reading it but women will still read the article. They won't be put off by how small the font is.
