Double Page

This double page spread for RWD magazine, I feel that this has a very good effect and look for the reader/audience. I like how the graphics of the band is spread throughout the two pages as one continuous pictures, with some text over the top. The colours work well because the colours of the clothes and the colour of the text is similar giving it a better effect than if they were different. The text going down the right hand side of the image is good because it is informative for the audience, it also contains a quote which can be seen easily as it is in a black text box.

If i were to emulate anything from this double page spread would be the colours linked to the graphics and the writing because I feel this has a very good effect on the audience. I would also try to use the layout, with the graphics covering both pages as a continuous image and have the text going down the side, i may also try to have the same quote box.

I have slected this image of a double page spread because I wanted to show aspects of a magazine I wouldn't like to be in mine. I think most if not all the colours used are far too bright and is hard for the audience to read. The text isn't easy to read and is set in columns uneffectively, the images used in this double page spread are all very similar but are not taken to a very professional standard as they are quite pixelated. However if I were to emulate anything from this double page spread would be the quotes used as I feel that this gives the magazine a more professional style and look for the reader. I also like the text in the black box at the top left hand corner, this makes it look more convincing as a music magazine.
