There are three main columns referring to the story with a big picture covering the right hand side. This makes it easier for the reader to read. There is more image than text; this is to attract the reader. Your eye is drawn to the main picture because it relates to the story and also helps the reader understand who the musician. The colour template is white with bits of red and pink, these are welcoming colours to keep the reader interested. The mode of address is quite formal so the reader understands the story better. The story is about a musician and his lifestyle that keeps him into drumming. The pictures are long-shots and depict the drummer recording a video. The pre-dominant image is the background which shows the drummer that the article is talking about. It also shows the target audience hanging out with the musician. The target audience for this article are people who like drumming. I can tell who the target audience is because the pictures contain the genre of music and the colours represent its identity. Overall, this double page spread shows the target audience well and contains an interesting story for the reader.
