Looking at Double Page Spreads...




I like this double page spread as i like the colour scheme, the blue really stands out against the black and white and i like the way the title (The Teenagers) relates to the layout as it creates the impression this article is also for teenagers. The main image shows 3 lads, they all look between 17 and 20 and they are sitting/slumping on a bed surrounded by posters you would expect teenage boys to have in their rooms. The text is small but looks easy to read and works well with the layout, i like how one of the quotations is highlighted in blue as it catches my eye and looks good in contrast with the other elements in blue. I don't like how the NME logo is included in the spread as it offsets the scheme.






This double page spread is on the Indie band Mumford and Sons, it is a very basic spread and doesn't contain much information, the main focus is the main image and the title 'GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD'. I like how basic it is and the basic colour scheme, there is more than likely a more detailed spread over the page.




I like the simple yet sophisticated layout of this spread, the image on the left, and the whole page of writing on the right looks good. The colour scheme  is white, grey, black and red, the red being the most obvious. The article starts with a typical drop down letter and is also set out like a traditional article. The colour scheme works well  as the red and black reflect off the white, the title is in red, just like Rihanna's hair which i think is a good contrast. The subheadings/questions used in the interview are also in red, which looks good against the background. The article is easy to read and is straight forward to look at which i think is always appealing to an audience.
