Reviewing Magazine Double Page Spreads.

The above is a double page spread from November's issue of Q Magazine; this particular magazine stuck out when looking at the other magazines that were avaliable at the specific time of purchase.

This specific piece (compared to that of Kerrang! Magazine) is very clear and simply set out; with this specific page only consisting of three main colours - black, white and green - as opposed to an article that would be displayed within a Kerrang! Magazine which would be full of colour and would could, perhaps put people off from reading the magazine who are more likely to read something that would be more sophisticated.

I like specific article do to the context of "Artist of the Century" which was a unique element of this specific issue, however this sort of idea has the potential to have some sort of article like this incorporated into my magazine - perhaps, "Artist of the Month" or "Gig of the Month", or something similar.

When it comes to designing and creating my magazine's double page spread the way that elements are displayed on the page is very important - the use of fonts and colours; the use of photographs and the use of information - I need to very aware that if any of these elements are overlooked then I could lose of some my specific target market who would be off-put and would not continue reading the magazine.
