Research on double page spread

 

 This is a double page spread featuring Rihanna. They have used a large photo of her to grab attention, a fan of Rihanna would see this and be interested in reading on. This image shows the edge of her that people recognise, she is looking directly at the camera and is not smiling, giving the look of attitude. The prop used in her photo shows that she has something to say and suggests to the reader that she is going to tell them something good and something which they need to know. The layout of the text is eye catching, it goes for bold writing to smaller writing to different coloured writing, suggesting that the article is not just going to be bland and boring, it is going to contain different topics.The writing used different texts and fonts to draw people in and make it look entertaining. This is an issue from October 2010 making this topic relevant to the music industry as she has recently brought out a few singles and is releasing her album, therefor people want to hear more about her and her album and she will want to advertise it to people and fans.

This double page spread out of, 'Uncut', has a lot of text. It does look slightly overloaded and could do with a few more images to make it look better. A reader may see this as to much written on one page and it is not sectioned off well enough towards the end of the article and a reader may get bored before they have even read it, I will take this into consideration when making my magazine. I also do not like the text on the page and i think that the font could look better. On the headline, ' feedback ', I think that if the fonts were different it could look a lot better as a whole. I also don't feel as though there is enough colour on the page so it is not eye catching to the reader.

This is out of q magazine. I like this as it is not dull looking. There are a lot of images used of the artist and they are are of her looking as though she is having a good time rather than just posing for a photo as she is laughing in them. Also there are people in the background of one of the images and this shows that she is working with people and this makes it a lot more informal, and the sort of people who read q magazine will be looking for this in what they read about. Also the writing in this looks good as it it sectioned of into rows which will keep the reader interested. There is a lot of colour on the double page spread also so this is going to make it very eye catching to the reader and they will like what they see better in comparison to there only being one colour, there is a lot of red used also which is a bright, happy effective colour.
