Double page spread ideas

My double page spread ideas each consist of having a different attitude toward the audience.

Firstly, my double page spread could show two images of rock artists facing each other. One of their faces could be on the left side of the first page looking at the other face, positioned on the other page. The audience will then see an immediate relationship between the rockers, as they are situated on either side of the double page spread. This will also contribute to the house style as one of the rockers could be linked to the front cover, showing a superior approach over the other rock star in the double page spread. A quote could also be in capital letters, running across the double page. The article can also be associated with the two images, printed in the bottom half of the page.

Another thought that could be considered for my double page spread is the main image could be of a band, standing in a subtle, calm and unconventionally manner. The main artist would be at the front of the magazine, with the house style being presented with his rock group at in the middle of the double page spread. However, if this is a strong contender for my double page spread, the image of the rock band should not be covered with the centre line/ spine. On the other hand, if I were to position the main image across the spine of the page, I will make sure that facial features of the rock artists will not be covered or in line with the centre line. This will create a central point for the audience to look at. In addition, an article or an interview with one or two of the band members providing a personal view, which creates a conversational piece of text between the audience and the magazine.

For both ideas, quotes are going to be essential and could be positioned just before the main article or across the middle of the top half of the double page spread. Page numbers are also a conventional theme on a double page spread, which are situated at the bottom corner of the pages. In further detail, the colour of the page numbers should be a different colour as this is for simplicity sake, hence making it easier for the audience to relate the contents page and the double page spread. The institutional logo can also be presented to the target audience, located on top or below the page number. This will sub consciously advertise the logo of the magazine with a subtle appearance towards the audience.
