The title “The triumph of Adele” is over-powering, also, the image of Adele next to it and the expressions on her face gave a very strong impression. A short passage is written of what the article is and how Adele flourished to the top.

This is an interview of the famous TV actor Leighton Meester who has been a popular figure of the tv series ‘Gossip girl’ in which her character became highly popular. The article however tells us about the upcoming album and an insight about her love life. The image used next to the article is in black and white, it gives a very intense look especially with the tattoo on her back, eye makeup and lip colour. This double spread page is an excellent example of simplicity being the key to excellent production and that’s what I’d like to show in my magazine.
