Textual analysis -->Music Magazine Double Page Spread

This is a double page spread taken from a music magazine of the Black Eyed Peas.This is a typical double page spread as there is a heading, the article and a photograph. In some ways this is not conventional. This is because there usually more then one image and important quotes in bold and larger making them stand out to the reader. 

The photograph takes up three quarters of the page. The main colour scheme for the this double page spread is gold. This comes across through the image, as all members of the Black Eyed Peas are wearing an item of clothing that is gold.  Will.i.am stands out compared to the rest of the band members. This suggests that he he thinking of leaving the band, this idea also comes across through the heading “will he wont he?” Will.i.am is wearing the most gold out of the other members of the band. Some members look like they have been painted in gold.
The heading is in block capitals and is in gold and sliver. It grabs the readers attention as it is short. The heading is placed other the image and has a white background. Under the heading there is a paragraph. Just like the double page spread of Pink I think that this paragraph could be about the article. The article itself does not take up a lot of the page. The article takes up one quarter of the page which is the right hand column. There is one paragraph from the article that is in bold. This suggests to me that is an important paragraph. Where the heading starts there are two gold arrows this also follows the gold theme. I think that the gold colour scheme could represent money and wealth
