Double Page Spread Examples

Here are some examples that I have found of double page spread pieces from the NME website. I will use certain features of these to help me to design my double page spread.

This page's main feature is their quote, which had also been used as the title to the piece, it is slanted suggesting quite a rebellious feel to the piece. The image is a full body image of the whole band, the fact that they're not standing up straight and leaning against the wall, again emphasizes the bands rebellious image, along with theyre casual clothing. They also use black writing in the midst of the pink summary to add emphasis to certain words, making them pop out at the reader and the bright colours used in the piece suggest viatlity and livliness.

This is quite a busy double page spread, they use several colours to show the different collumns and images, all varying in scale. NME used the idea of turning the images into polaroids so that it gave quite a rock 'n' roll on tour feel to the piece.

This is possibly my favourite double oage spread. I like the use of one image to cover both of the pages, it suggests a gentmens club or posh hotel. It very much takes the rock 'n' roll out of the singer, as he is dressed in a suit. However, the reader looks at him and then you can see that the attituse the artist has is still there.
and I also like the curly handwriting used for the title, it seems very over the top and almost sarcastic, as though he is mocking the fact that he is in reality, very famous. The text size would normally suggest a more serious piece but I think that NME wanted the reader to see the image of the artist, before they began reading.

There are certain aspects of this piece that I plan to use in my design. I like the idea
