Unlike my School Magazine, I have to create a double page spread for my Music Magazine. For this I have looked at some examples, to get a better idea of what to do.
With this magazine, they have kept it black and white with a splash of red. I likes this contemporary style and the simpleness of the pages. I also like the fact that they have used a big red 'L' for Lady Gaga, which stands out from the rest of the page. This draws attention to the article, which is good to attract readers. I also like that they have a full picture page of Lady Gaga, who they have interviewed. This again draws attention to the pages.
(Q Magazine)
With the NME magazine, they have gone down the same route. Again, they have used a full picture of Lily Allen, who they have interviewed, to attract readers to the page. The picture also gives a bit of insight into the article, as it is about Lily Allen. The article heading is also big and stands out. This is again to make it eye catching. In the article, the have also made Lily's name red, to match the shirt she is wearing. They have also used the red like the Q magazine, to stand out and catch the eyes of readers, so they then go on to read the article.
(NME Magazine)
After looking at these two different magazines, I have seen some similarities. I will use this and corporate it into my magazine, as it seems to work.
