Double Page Spread Layouts

1. This is my first double page spread layout design. The main image will be situated across both pages, making it the main focus of the page. This will catch the eye of the fans of the band. Another image will be placed in the bottom right hand corner, which will be either a backstage or live image with a halo outline. This will give the effect of a pug as it looks seperate from the actual page. Covering the bottom half of the secondary image will be a quote from the main text on the page, it's font will be slightly bigger and it'll be highlighted to make it stand out. The main text will be an interview and will be placed in the bottom left corner. The text will be simple with contrasting colours in order to make it stand out. Above the main text, the bands name will be written vertically down the side of the page in the biggest, bold font. This could attract readers as it's unusual and eye-catching. Next to the bands name, the main coverline will also be written vertically in a slightly smaller font. The way this is situated gives the main image more space. The magazine masthead is also in the top right corner, matching the cover and the contents page. Finally, the page number will be written in a contrasting colour in the bottom edge corners of each page. It will be the smallest text on the page.
2. For my second double page layout, there is a lot more images compared to my first design. On the left side, my main image will be placed as the background. This will indicate who the article is actually about and attract the readers. All other images are located on the page on the right and they'll be a mixture of live pictures, backstage images and a studio group image along the top. With the majority of the images on the right page, it could attract people/fans to actually read the artcle as the right hand side of a double page spread is seen first, showing a mixture of band images. The text will be an interview with the artist/band. It will be placed in a white box with black text. The questions will be slightly bolder and in a different colour to attract the reader. I've also decided to place part of the text around a few images as it makes the page look a little more interesting. On the left page, I've placed a quote in the top corner, which will be of different fonts, sizes and colours to make it stand out well. In the bottom left corner, i've also placed a pug-like note pad page, which will contain a question to the band from a fan/reader. The text would be black and the question would be a dark red. This is so that the text matches the main text, however the different shade of red will indicate that it is not a magazine asked question.
3. This is my final double page spread design. I have based this page to be a live review of a gig. This would automatically attract anyone who attended or the fans. Firstly, to show that this is a live review page i've placed a small masthead of 'LIVE' in the top left corner. It has shadowing around it which could also mimic as if a spotlight has been placed onto the masthead. The main image will be a live crowd view image of the band on stage, this will take up the background for the page. The other images are placed in the bottom right corner and they'll have a polaroid effect and will be placed on the page in a scrap book style (scattered and at a slight angle). These pictures will be backstage images. The masthead for the page will be the bands name in a bold, block font and it will be the biggest font on the page. This will make it eye catching and appealing to the readers. The main review will be under the masthead and will be in a black box with white typed font. This will make it easy to read. In the top right corner, there will be a few reviews from people who attended the show. It will contain a small close up of their face and will have a sentence underneath with their opinion. This will also be in a black box with white text.
