This double page spread is inspired by Vogue magazine. This can be seen from the fashion orientation, the bright but complimenting colours and busy images. The appearance is very uplifting and colourful, Vogue also tends to use white backgrounds for their magazine. As a fashion magazine this is important as it gives as much focus to the images as possible.
There is a lot of linking images to the text here, this is because it is a very visual magazine and could work well with very little text at all. Although there does appear to be a lot going on in this double page spread, the text and imagery are laid out in an easily navigational fashion and the space is made good use of. The main text is laid out in three straightly aligned columns; this helps the organisation of the article by making a busy page seem less crowded.
The text is neatly laid out and uses simple fonts, at the start of the main text a drop cap is used, this is a popular way in the media to start off an article; it makes the text more interesting and unique.
As this article is more an investigation than an interview, a pull quote is not used as it would not conform or be relavant. A secondary title, standfirst, is given; "How to Stay in the Style Loop", this shows that fashion/style is a continuing genre of the magazine and that this article is purely an extention on this.
The lead image here is the photo of the woman/maniquin in the blue coat. It is bold and relates to the theme, the layout of the photo is also nicely done with complimenting decoration and interesting use of imagery with the ghostly background.
Overall this double page spread works well if not a little too crowded, it could have benifited for fewer images however it balances it out by straightening the text and giving each image a 'section'.
