Style model of double page spread

I am going to use this double page spread as my style model for my own double page spread.

This double page spread is from the magazine Billboard.

I like that they have split the page into two. They have kept the writing and the photo separate and I think that that makes the page look cleaner and more professional. It is good that they dont mix the two parts together and I think that I might incoroporat this idea onto my double page spread.

The model on this double page spread is using a direct mode of address to the camera. They have used a close up shot of her; this means that people look to her when they open this page. I think that I am going to use this idea because, people will instantly recognise her from the front cover and using direct mode of address will draw people in.

They have used quite as bit to grab the attention of the audience when they turn to this page. So I could include this on my double page spread. The writing is also in a bold, simple font. This looks more professional compared to if they had a fancy looking font that you could not read.

I think that all the colours on this page go well together although I dont think that the pink should fade into black at the bottom of the page. I thinkt that, that makes the writing at the bottom of the page harder to read. They do have some black writing on this page but I think that it kind of fades in to the background a bit.
