Research and Planning: Possible Double Page Spread Usage

 This double age spread sticks to a strict colour scheme of black, red and white holding the entire spread together.  The use of images takes up round three quarters of the spread yet doesn't over power the page due to the use of black and white photography, the large title, the banner down the right hand side and the use of small fonts so that the quantity of text isn't lost.
This spread features an article on the band My Chemical Romance and how they are providing their musical entertainment to the best of their ability. I should consider an article for my double page spread.
I should use the strict colour scheme, banners and plenty of photographs to help give my double page spread a professional finish.  I should also consider effects for my photographs such as black and white, sepia ect, and how I plan to use these effects to help keep my spread professional looking and well structured.

This spread once again uses a large text for the title which takes up a large amount of one of the pages.  This double page spread uses the full photograph of Linkin Park as the main background for the text.  I should keep in mind positioning on my photographs in order to fit text/banners in and around them in order to help add to the professional finish of my double page spread.

In conclusion I feel my double page spread should contain:
  • A banner that may contain a slug line from the title or information relevant to the subject,
  • Text which has a larger first letter and a small font set out in columns in order to give a professional finish,
  • Photographs that take up a large amount of space, just under three quarters of the page, of the band together, with their family/people associated with them.
  • Icon in the top left informing readers on what they're about to read e.g. News / Gigs.
  • A strict 3 colour colour scheme. 
  • I should also note how exclusive my story is to my magazine in both the top left hand corner and also in my contents and cover.
