Double Page Spread Inspiration

Here I have collected some existing examples of double page spread articles and layouts from various new music magazines such as NME, Kerrang and Mojo. By looking at the content and layout of these articles, I can gain inspiration for my own double page spread, which I will start work on shortly. I have been able to draw up a rough flat plan sketch of a double page spread layout as it stands, which then enables me to draft write the article.
Here are the images of the existing page spreads:
Kerrang Magazine - I really like the layout, use of typography and the use of images on this page spread. I think it looks visually dynamic and I think this will provide the most inspiration for my own double page spread.

NME Magazine - This double page spread is very vibrant visually, which suits the nature of the target audience and also holds their reading attention. I like the use of bold font types through out the spread and I also like the way that the text columns are used to fit around the images and appear not too much writing, so that the target audience will be more likely to read a shorter article which holds their interest. Also, I think the side banner section on the right is effective, as it has different content to the main article, keeping up interest and content of the page.

NME Magazine - This example is also taken from NME magazine, and I really like the use of oversized typography to create the article title and main focus of the page. The use of an orange colour scheme also works well as it is vibrant, eye-catching and stands out from the rest of the content in particular. There is a lengthy amount of text on this spread, which I would avoid. The use of one full page image is also effective, however I may not use this element, as I would like the content to be a bit more inventive.
