The double page spread depicts a continuous theme with the rest of the magazine. The roman Numerals in Gold feature on the left hand side of the page on each page in the magazine, this is also accompanied by a normal page number on the bottom right hand side of every page. This also shows that the readers are likely to not be paying alot of attention to the roman numerals, and they are there for artistic effect.
The pages also display a white strip at the top and bottom of each of the two pages making the double page spread. This shows that the page are linked together.
The article featured on the double page spread also continues with the theme of aspirers. The title of "It was all a dream" bears little relevance to the short paragraph underneath. Especially as the page has little text we rely on the photograph dominating both pages to tell the story. This makes the page very visual. The title is quite small in comparison to the image, and is also situated on the right hand side of the page, this is so that is doesn't detract from the image. The article also gives the impression of its importance, as the text is short and concise, it shows that the picture does justice to the story as the people they are talking about are photographed. A great amount of detail is not needed as the bear facts speak for themselves.
The title i believe to have been chosen because it reflects the lifestyle of the class of people interviewed. The two people photographed are well dressed, and look of the higher wealthy class that is stereotypically associated with this type of music and its success. Linked with 'Living the dream.'
The title font is again bold. Similar to every title i have looked at. The colour however is shown to represent diamonds on the word 'dream' This again links with the wealthy and privileged lifestyle associated with this genre of music, and again will appeal to aspirers.
The colours featured on the page are monochrome. This is because the other small items features will stand out more on the back of this. There are a couple of small items such as a gold necklace that the man featured in the photograph is wearing, this stands out due to the background colours.
The language used on the spread is also quite formal 'legacy' and 'notorious' this is in keeping with the formal image of the models on the page, who are dressed in suits and hats. This keeps the formal feeling throughout the article.
The image on the page suggest a close relationship between the man and women, The man poses as a stereotypical man: Suit, hat, tie. He has his arm around a women who also is dressed smartly, however she is laying down showing his domineering nature. They both have very serious expressions. They look to be in an expensive car. The seating in cream leather, contrasting the black colours of their clothes and providing a good basis of contrasting colours to the page. The setting of the photo shoot looks quite luxurious and this is once again in keeping with the formal and expensive look of the magazine.
