Double page spread - How it meets the audience needs and how i designed it

My double page spread meets the audience needs as it is all very clear and understandable and set out in a professional way. I have kept the red colour scheme yet again throughout this as well. By using red text for the questions in the interview and the pull quote on the right hand side page. I also made sure to use alternative fonts to make it look interesting and worth reading. Also by having spaces between each question and answer makes it look like less to read which will intrigue more people to want to read it. Yet again, on the main image has still got that pink tint which relates to the primary audience as pink is associated with females. Also the colour red isn't associated with either particular gender, so this will work with my primary and secondary audiences. 

I created the effect of the images being a mirror image by swapping the way it is facing and matching the images up in the crease of the double pages. Also i put both the opening and ending paragraphs in lucida handwriting font, making it look posh and keeping them both relatively the same as they do the same thing but different. I alternated the fonts all over the double pages to keep it interesting all the way through and to keep the audience interested. Also i made sure to make the red pull quote the most eye catching as this is what will intrigue the audience to want to read more about the article. Keeping the logo again near the bottom of the page, indicating the magazine is unique and that is how it will be known. I filled in the space on the right hand page at the bottom, by adding ways to follow the duo through social networking sites. These logos are also known all over the world and mostly by teenagers and will surly attract attention as people will want to know what they can find out within the internet. Also as i added the black arrow with 'this week' inside of it, also will be on each page. I kept 'The gogos go for it' in more of a posh font to create a formal effect and i also made it bigger than any other text which made it eye catching. Also as its places across the width of the page as the article is set in columns also makes it stand out that bit more as it isn't the same as the rest of the page.  Also keeping the strip lines the same pattern and colour creates originality and keeps the page intact between both sides.
