Mojo double page spread

When first looking at this double page spread the first thing i noticed was how dark it was. The double page spread is taken up by mainly one whole black and white image that takes up one full page and half of the other. The way the colouring scheme on this double page spread has been done could maybe have an ideology of the 'dark rock' which mojo normally associates it's music genre with. The only colour on this double page spread is the text which is of two colours either white or a gold/brown colour. The title which says 'American Gothic' stands out clearly against the black background and instantly catches the audiences attention. The font of the title on this double page spread looks effective as the 'American' part of the font is in bold uppercase writing that slightly slants whereas the 'gothic' part almost looks like it has been sprayed on in gold paint, both of these seem to link well with the overall gothic look of the double page spread. The layout for this spread is quite different to what you might see in other magazines, the image takes up one and a half pages leaving only half a page for text which could mean that the text is very specific to the image which obviously the editor wants us as the audience to mainly pay attention to. In the image we can see a man with a backdrop of a church, with the image been black and white this creates quite a gothic, eerie looking image which most people would find scary however, the man in the image is stood looking relaxed with his arms above his head which allows us too see views of his tattoos, the man doing this has a representation of power and and fearless which pretty much outlines what most people think about rock artists. Also tattoo's are sometimes seen as rebellious in society therefore this also adds to the representation of showing the average rock artist.
