Inspiration for Double Page Spread

These are a few snippets I took from various magazines as a bit of inspiration. These include pull quote and drop caps which follow typical shared conventions of all double page spread.

 Byline: used to familiarize the audience with those involved with the construction of the magazine.

 I found this on one of Kerrang's magazines and thought it was a good idea. It is used to show the readers what the artist featured in DPS is made of or what their interests are.

 Drop Cap: used to draw attention to a particular section of the Double page spread or commonly used as a starting point of an article.

This is a pull quote, used to give an insight to the article. These are interesting as they give a little extra information as to what the article is about.

 In terms of photographs, sizes, shapes, colours etc. can vary quite often. The two images i have featured may look the same but are significantly different. The first on the left covers two pages which for me may not be a good idea considering my artist is a single artist which means the image would have to be spread along two pages. The one at the bottom however covers 3 quarters of the 2 pages. This takes up a lot of space and leaves no room for writing, although the writing could be brought forward and laid on top of the image. These are the little things that may be featured in my Double Page Spread and the decisions I must make.
