Double-Page Spread Analysis

This double-page spread follows one basic style model of a double-page spread used in NME magazine. One page is image dominated and not at all in the ‘blocky’ format. The other page has an eye-catching and interesting quote stamped across it in big letters which overlaps slightly on to the left page. There is a paragraph of information under this quote and underneath this the article separated into two paragraphs. I don’t think I will use the two paragraph system as I have been often told to follow the ‘rule of thirds’ to make an article or double-page spread more attractive to the eye of the reader. The background is bare and plain as not to distract attention from the article or main image. This is a technique that I will definitely use when creating my magazine as it may prove to be important for making the magazine article look professional. The positioning and pose of the men shows a lot about what image they are trying to portray. They each have a relaxed and possibly playful pose and they are stood together in unity. Pose is obviously very important when deciding what image to portray of a band and this is something I will have to think very clearly about.
