A double page spread is a design format for two facing pages intended to be viewed together, commonly used for interviews, reviews, and other features in magazines. The document outlines a plan for creating an interview-based double page spread aimed at a young audience interested in rock and heavy metal, detailing the layout, imagery, and stylistic choices to engage readers. It emphasizes using various graphic elements and a color scheme that reflects the genre, while incorporating a continuous prose interview format to appeal to the target demographic.

1. Double Page SpreadA double page spread is two facing pages containing appropriate material which are intended to be viewed together, so the design is consistent on both pages. Can also be referred to as a “feature spread”. Things that can go on a double page spread:Interviews – about an individual or band based on questions and the answers they have given. This is generally shown as either a question and answer style or a continuous style. This could be used in my style magazine as the interview could be with a band or solo artist who work in the rock/heavy metal genre and that the target audience would enjoy reading about the famous band.Review- about an event or item, telling the readers how good it is and what it can do. This can be opinionated or factual. It is often a continuous piece of writing. This would be suited for my magazine by writing a review on a gig or a new album. This will suit the audience as these are events and albums they could by.

2. Proposal: Double Page SpreadI am going to make an interview based double page spread in a continuous prose because I think these are more interesting and appealing for the target audience. It will be made relevant to the target audience because it will be about a band that are really popular with 16 – 20 year olds, and who are in the rock or heavy metal genre. I am going to use my primary images by implying that he is part of the band. I will also use the other images to make it look more like a band and less of a single artist. I think I will lay it out with the photos being used as either the back ground to the text and have the text go around the main parts of the photo or have the photo stand out in separate boxes or bubbles. I will see how each one looks first before I decide. I think I may need to get more images for the feature spread if my ones aren't enough or don't look right. I will also write up a pretend interview by either having an interview with a friend or just a piece of creative writing. I think I will read some other interview pieces to get inspiration and ideas on how to write a continuous piece.
