SPIN double page spread cover has a similar conventional
layout to NME; this includes a large image taking up roughly 2/3 of the page
and the rest left for text. The image used is interesting, it is a close up of
Florence, which allows the audience to recognise that she seems to look happy,
her hair is clearly blown back and it seems to look like an in action shot.
Because the photo is a close up there is a lot to identify and it adds a sense
of importance. The image is black and white, which can suggest that there is
something being hidden, her true colours aren’t showing.
The whole magazine is in black and white, this is a
simplistic look is affective. “Florence and the machine” is wrote in big font,
not only because it’s the title of the article but also it is the name of the
band, therefore it needs to draw attention to readers so they know who it is.
The artist of the year box positioned above the title can make the reader want
to go into more depth and find out why etc. There isn’t a huge amount of text
used in the spread; this allows more focus on the image itself. Along with this
the font seems to be simplistic in the interview, however the writing beneath
the title has a feminine touch to it, this correlates well with Florence because
obviously she is female.
The kicker is interesting because it is unique. The use of
columns give it a magazine feel, on the other hand the black and white can
emphasise more of a newspaper feel.
