The Double page spread is about a DJ Artist called 'Helena Hauff'. She was featured on one of the plugs on the front cover of the magazine so she is a well known artist to the demographic as they are interested in her type of music. The magazine double page spread is unconventional in the way it is layed out because it goes over three pages rather than two, this is mainly due to the picture taking up whole page in the article.
The picture is a very large image which spreads across the left page and slightly onto the right page, this again is placed like this because although the picture isn't a bright and bold as others in the magazine the readers are still more into looking at visual images therefore by taking up most of the space with an image the reader is more likely to read the article as the text looks minimal.
There is a stand first on the magazine displayed over the picture. This gives the reader an insight into the magazine and what the article is about. A short stand first like this in this type of magazine is important as the demographic can be quickly introduced to the article rather than skipping over the article due to a lot of writing. Also the title of the article 'all that she wants' doesn't suggest much about the article its self so the stand first really boosts the article and draws the reader in.
The way the text of the article is layed out is seen to be conventional as it is in columns however there are only two columns and a lot of negative space around it so in that sense the magazine is unconventional. The negative space is used in this magazine because it makes the article look neat, easy too read because this is very much how the demographic prefer the magazines to be layed out.
