Research - Music Magazine Double Page Spread Analysis.

The final part of this particular analysis was to look in more detail at double page spreads, particularly in a music magazine. In this particular case, I have analysed a double page spread from NME magazine in order to explore these conventions in more detail:

What have I learnt from this particular analysis?
After looking in more detail at the conventions of a double page article, I have learnt the following things. Bold and bright colours are essential for attracting the eye and keeping the reader interested. Small side panels and boxes add extra information to the page and also add variety. Articles usually include small quotes by the musicians and sometimes these are highlighted in bold/colour and stand out from the rest of the interview. When producing my own double page spread, I will take these particular conventions into consideration in order to create a successful article.
