School Magazine Double page spread

I decided to analyse this double page spread by Sibford school because i thought it was a good double page spread, clear to read, nice pictures, simple and sophisticated. This would interest parents in particular as it talks about the school and about children's education .
The double page spread itself , doesn't have alot of text which. An advantage of this could be that it simpler and quicker to read , which could interest some people to read it because of its lack of texts and will take shorter amount of time. A disadvantage of using very little text would be that parents who want to know more about the school , wont receive much information and may feel that its not very informative. It uses large pictures to break up the text and to make the double page spread more appealing and interesting to look at. The pictures are high quality ,and shows parents what it is there children will learn and images of pupils participating in school sports and other events. This is good for the school name and image as it shows the schools academic and sporting achievements and pupils representing the school. The shots that are used are also good quality as they use a variety of different shots and use different angles which engage the audience attetntion as there not all the same and capture differnt moments and activities that the pupils are doing which will interst parents who are interested in the school.
The colours used are mostly green which represents Harmony, Safety and Money. It's colour which relates to money could refer back to the school, as it is a private boarding school and the fact that there school colour is green along with the school uniforms. Also green is an earth colour and could relate to the fact the school is in the counrty side, which relates to safety and its in non urban area where it is quiet and peacefull. This will please parents and other audiences to know that there children would be safe and out of reach of busy roads and city's. Overall i think this double page spread could be more informative but is very visually engaging and interesting and offers a range of images which shows what the school has to offer.
