DECONSTRUCTION OF A DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

This is the double page spread of Clash magazine, and much like the cover, continues with the general style of simplicity and cleanliness. Clash has a very simple Image of a young artist in close up. The image is not busy, aside from his shirt, and has too main colours of orange and green. The shirt is loud and eye catching, making it stand out more than the rest of the image. This is relevant as in the text their is a reference to the artists bizarre fashion sense. The colour of the green shirt is dragged over into the main body where they credit the creators of this article. This maintains the simple colour scheme and makes it more aesthetically pleasing. As much of clash is dedicated to the simplicity of music and it's creators, making a simple image look beautiful all the more reinforces the idea that something doesn't have to be complex to be pretty.
  In the main text, the artist states how he enjoys vinyl's, especially the soundtrack to a classic film "Watership Down" made in the 70's.  To convey this, the image holds the essence of 70's fashion photography. With the complex and brightly coloured clothing, mixed with dramatic lighting and colouring, gives it the feeling of a vintage photograph. Doing this makes us truly see how much influence this artist takes from different styles, and proves to us that he has a deep respect for different styles
The text is styled in the conventional article style of columns. However it is written in serif and a very classical looking font that it makes it look more like an old news article. This further in keeps with the theme of a vintage, 70's style and makes the page look even more put together. Most of the text is in serif aside from the name of the artist "KING KRULE" which is written in block sans serif. This makes this piece of text stand considerably out compared to the rest of the text and thus leads to the conclusion that it is a more useful piece of information. In addition, sans serif is more of a modern font style. Having the modern font surrounded entirely by more traditional font on the rest of the page could be implying that despite the old fashioned style of this artist, is that he still has modern aspects to him, as said in the text, making him a very unique individual.
