Magazine double page spread example - Kerrang

This is an example of a double page spread for the Kerrang magazine. There is a mix of colours used which match the colours worn by the people visible on the pages. There are multiple images on the double page spread with the biggest being in the middle of the pages.

The background for most of the double page spread is black which makes it easier to see the red and white text. The main heading for the page is bigger than any of the other text so it is more visible and stands out. It also has its own font style compared to the rest of the text. This is so it interests the reader and does not make the text look plain.

The pictures used are mainly on the right side of the double page spread because the left side is filled with most of the text on the page. The colours used in the pictures match the colours used for the rest of the magazine. The clothing for the man in front of the other three men is the only clothing that is easily visible to the reader. This may be because he is the most popular member of the band. His clothing also looks different to what the other members are wearing which may be usual for him.

I think that this magazine could be very helpful when it comes to making my magazine. Since my magazine is going to be of the rock genre and this is from a rock magazine, it would give me a possibility for my double page spread. I can use this to draw my design ideas for the double page spread and I can also use Adobe Photoshop elements to create the double page and test it to see if it will look good for my magazine.
