Double-page spread ideas.
From the research that i did on double-page spreads, here are 3 designs that I have created for my magazine, using features which I liked from each piece of research that I did. I will discuss each one, stating finally which I will use for my final design.
The first idea that I came up with, included the idea of text on one side and images on the other, as I thought this would be easier to follow for the audience. I also included a primary colour throughout the pages, including in the masthead, to make text stand out where needed without complication of too many colours used. I liked the idea of large text at the start of the paragraphs of text, to bring the audience in, and so I included this to see the given effect.
The second idea that I chose to use was inspired from my research of a magazine double-spread, surrounded by text with a main iconic image in the centre, which I decided to include using a band image I would capture with a camera. This was to give attraction straight to the image, whilst including large text at the start of the paragraphs to bring the audience equally into the story. I used a quote at the bottom to personalise the image asif the members included were talking to the audience, as I thought it was a good effect.
The final idea that I created, included a quote underneath the title to make it personal to the reader, an iconic image of the band/subject being interviewed in the centre so the reader knows who is being talked about, and a division of questions and answers spread around the page, the questions in red or another colour font and the answers in one main colour such as black to match and give the audeince a clear representation of what is being said by who. I used the layout of a double-page spread from research that I had, as I thought this was an appropriate layout to use, as it included all of the right features to make the contents of the pages clear to the reader, and was interesting and attractive to look at.
The final idea that I have decided to use is the last, as although it is very different from the first 2 ideas, it is clear for what is happening to the reader, as it is an interview, and this is shown by the seperate question and answer boxes, represented with colour and boxes. The quotate personalises the image and text to the reader, making it feel direct to them, and both the image in the centre and title above are instantly recognised and attractive to the reader, overall making it the right layout to use.
