Above is a double page spread of a celebrity called Solange Knowles from Vibe magazine 2008. As we can see each page uses three columns. These are placed underneath a banner which shows several long shots of Solange as she appears to be having a good time. These images allow the audience to see that she has a fun and outgoing personality making this page more attractive to readers.There is a large shot of Solange which emerges from the design of the page as the main focal point. The use of colour through clothing and her stance represents a strong and confident indivual. Solange's feature is promoted to its audience as being exclusive to this magazine. The standfirst is printed in large font to attract the reader to read the full article as it is controversial 'FORGET HER SISTER.' This double page uses a balanced ratio of picture to text this shows that the text is important to readers as it speaks about a well-known person who maybe an idol to some of the audience. The text appears to be loosely wrapped around the images as they are porttayed as the spotlight of the double page spread. The majorite of typeface uses sans-serif font and there are no titles across this double page. This magazine uses a direct mode of address as Solange speaks directly to her audience when talking about herself and answering questions. Solange uses some semantic field when she speaks for example 'I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO FALL BACK AND ENJOY THE MUSIC'. In both the bottom left and right corner there are page numbers (86/87) and there are also credits as photographer is named with dates and location of the photo shoot at the bottom of the page. Overall this double page uses an effective layout which will appear strong and attractive within a magazine.
