Research and Planning: Double Spread Analysis.



In this double spread page, there are many more pictures than in the contents page. This is because it revolves particularly around just one subject of the magazine, rather than multiple. With that in mind, we know that there's going to be more space to provide more details about the said certain subject. In this case, My Chemical Romance is the subject of this double spread. The reason we know this, is because of the large slogan covering both pages, in contrasting colours to the background. If the reader does not know who MCR are, the name of the band appears underneath the statement. To the left, is a large mid/long shot of the lead singer. His picture is largest, as he is the face of the band, and the member of the band in which readers are most likely to have an interest in. The bottom right of the left page is the guitarist of the band at a mid-shot, and there's almost a connection between the two pictures, and where the people in the pictures are actually looking, which seems to be one another. The text of the page is smaller, reflecting on how detailed it is. As you can tell, the text on the right page is much smaller than anything else along the double spread, so that's where the reader will know to look when they're interested in the depth of the band's career. 
In the white box on the far right, is a few sections and subsections to stand out from the rest of the page. Much like the slogan, this stands out, as it has important information reflecting the band, perhaps like band concerts and dates, their interviews, and so on.
There's a lot more chemistry (No pun intended.) in the pictures, than in the contents page, which shows the relation of the bandmates and their passion for music.
