Spread Cover Research

I believe that the double spread will be the hardest of the three parts to execute well as i will have to incorportae alot of text aswell as images.

CONTENTS ONE: I like this double spread but it breaks alot of conventions. Firstly, there's only one image whereas there is usually several pictures dotted around the article. There's no white space which isn't bad as the image fills most of the double page. The text grad is black on white in contrast to the rest of the interview which makes in stand out. Although it is quite long for a text grab. I like the idea of this page, i also would like a main picture that grabs the readers eye, I find the image itself says alot about the artist, it emits class and attention to detail which the artist, Jay-Z has in abbundence. It also makes him seem a refined character. Although this interview is bigger than a double spread interview i found the layout of it interesting.

CONTENTS TWO: I like the image on this page as it contrasts with the white background with Noel Gallagher in a black jacket and the shadows on his face show his age, that as well as the large text grab caption, 'Now i'l tell you a fucking story...' makes him seem a veteran of the music world with alot of atories to tell. The sheer simplicity of the layout is i think executed well, as the text garb is clear but does not take away from the image. I'm guessing that Noel is their to promote something although that isn't always the case, but most of the time it is. My article will be question and answer, unlike these two. It will also be targetted at the Indie/Rock audience.
