In this double page spread, the image spreads across both pages. This is quite uncommon in indie magazines but I think it works well with the duet. However, I am not really a fan of the image. Alex Turner is known as a typical rock star but here he looks really happy and dressed really smart. I don't think the image captures the attitude of the band. I like how they have split it so that there is a band member on each page. My band in my magazine is a duet but I don't think I will be doing this with my double page spread. I am going to stick to an image on the left and article on the right.
The headline is nice because it relates to the band because Alex Turner is the main singer of the Arctic Monkeys who are a huge band and Miles Kane is a successful solo artist so the Best of Both Worlds is meaning that they are a solo artist and a band member merging into a separate band. I also like the gradient for the text going from orange to white. It is a nice contrast to the black and white image. I am going to have my headline above my article rather than having it over two pages and instead of having a gradient, I am going to have a coloured drop shadow behind to add some more colour.
