Research- contence page

Images

Five small images have been used. The images go with/ anchor the text that they are next to. Alll the images are of a passport size and of head shots of artist relevent to that magazine.

text

Two types of text used. This makes the contence page look siple and smart. As too many fonts used can look cluttered and tacky. The fonts used are sans seriff fonts, which are ; simple, clear thus easy to read. Text is of a sensible and clear size.

colours

The main two colours used on this particular contence page, are black and white. The text is white on a black background o that it's clear and stands out. The use of two complimenting colours creates a simple and smart oveall look.

layout

All the images have been placed down the right hand side of the page with writing to go with that image down the left. This layout makes the contence page easy to use, as you can easily relate an image to the text.

My double page spread

Basied on the reasearch i did into double page spreads from other simmilar magazine. I established, the sort of; images, colours,layout and content, that should be appropriate to use in my double page spread.


Images

The majority of double page spreads i looked at. Used a few small images alongside a larger image. I found that in all the double page spreads i looked at. The sorts of images being used were, mid to long shots of the subject matter of the double page spread. The larger images tended to be the long shots. As a result, i have tryed to follow this as my bassis for my images on my double page spread. As you can see, i have used (like in my research) a few small images of either mid or long shot, alongside a larger image, all of the same subject matter which links to my front cover and contence page.

Content

During my reasearch, i established. That the commen content for a double page spread of this genre, is an interveiw with a band or artist. So as a result this is what i chose to do on my double page spread.

Layout

In terms of layout, the double page spreads i looked at and reasearched for this genre of magazine. All had one side of the double page spread that was heavily image based with less text. And the other side therefor being for the bulk of the text. The double page spreads i looked at also had quotes enlarged, so that at a flick through the magazine, you could see a quick insight into the interveiw. I have tryed to follow these ideas. By having all mt images on the left hand side page. On the left page, i have little text, and what text there is is quotes, so like i found in my research, at a quick glance the reader can see what the artical's about. I then have the main bulk of text (like in my research) on the right page.

colours

The colours used in the double page spreads i researched. Linked to the colours used on the front cover and throughout the rest of the magazine. They have also stuck to one or two colours to make it look less cluttered and tacky and simple. Therefore i have used the same colour schem as on my front and in my contence page.
