Magazine double page spread example - NME

This is a double page spread from NME magazine. When I first look at it, I think it looks a bit dull with the colours but it may be these colours because it matches the style of the band. The text for this double page spread is on the right page instead of the left page. The name of the band is clearly visible on the double page spread since it is large, bold and black on a white background.

There are two letters at the start of paragraphs that have been increased in size and are in blue. There are is also a few lines of text that have been written in blue which may make the text stand out. I have also noticed there are a few small blue lines on the double page spread. This may be the style of the magazine or could be associated with the band.

The colours that are used for this magazine do look a bit boring in my eyes but that is just my opinion. The colours may have been used to show a western theme to the picture. It could also be used to match the clothing worn by the band.

I think that I could use the layout of this double page spread for my magazine. However I think it will be better if I have the text on the left page and the image on the right page.
