Research and Planning: Double Page Spread Analysis. (Redraft.)



This double page spread (top) has a full-page photo of Cheryl Cole on the left hand side. Like most magazines, there's a large photo of the artist because it shows off the model's personality through what they're wearing, their hair and makeup, and their pose. (Overall mise-en-scene.) So that has inspired me for my magazine to include on one side of my double page spread, a large photo of my model, either a medium shot or a medium close up. On the left hand side, is the name of the artist on the top with two different fonts, as more people would recognise 'Cole' rather than Cheryl, as if it's a signature name. I'll use that method in my double page spread for my artist. The double page spread also has a quote near the bottom left of the left page, and a quote draws attention to the significant areas of the interview, so I'll definitely use some form of quote from my artist story in order to emphasise my interview and allow my double page spread to look much more professional. I've noticed that there's an additional picture on the left page, which has a different setting and costume to the photo on the right. With variation, I think that makes an artist seem much broader and stylish. For my double page spread, I'll be inspired by these pages by having my model wear two different outfits, and be in two different settings. There will be a variety in my magazine that way, and it'll make my settings and ideas seem much more expanded and explored in options. The fonts are mixed between serif and sans serif, depending on placement and the body of text. So I'm going to use a specific number of fonts, and have them assigned to different elements of my magazine. For example, serif for my stories, sans serif for my quotes, etc.
