Both NME and Kerrang magazine double page spreads place the masthead in the top right corner according to Guttenberg's design principle. They use large, bold sans serif fonts to attract attention. Both feature the artist's name and article summary. The magazines use large center images filling half the page for balance. The images are high quality shots of the artist relating to their genre. NME spreads text across both pages while Kerrang groups text together. Both use columns and subheadings to structure the text. The magazines have consistent house styles matching their brands, with NME using pink and Kerrang using red, black, and white.

Physico chemical studies on the adsorption of atrazin on locally mined montmo...IAEME Publication
This document discusses a study on the physicochemical adsorption of the herbicide atrazine (ATR) onto locally mined montmorillonite clay. The study examined how various factors like pH, ionic strength, clay mass, and initial ATR concentration affected the adsorption process. Kinetic experiments showed ATR was quickly adsorbed, reaching equilibrium within 30-40 minutes. Adsorption increased with initial ATR concentration and ionic strength, but decreased with increasing pH and clay mass. Pseudo-first order and intra-particle diffusion models best described the adsorption kinetics. The Freundlich isotherm model with an R2 of 0.99 provided the best fit for equilibrium adsorption, indicating

Combining forecast from different models has shown to perform better than single forecast in most time series. To improve the quality of forecast we can go for combining forecast. We study the effect of decomposing a series into multiple components and performing forecasts on each component separately... The original series is decomposed into trend, seasonality and an irregular component for each series. The statistical methods such as ARIMA, Holt-Winter have been used to forecast these components. In this paper we focus on how the best models of one series can be applied to similar frequency pattern series for forecasting using association mining. The proposed method forecasted value has been compared with Holt Winter method and shown that the results are better than Holt Winter method
The document analyzes the design of a magazine contents page. It discusses four key aspects:
1) Imagery - The large main image uses dark lighting and costumes to represent the rock genre, while secondary images use brighter lighting to seem less intimidating.
2) Design Principle - The main image is in the primary optical area to get attention, while the masthead and articles are in other areas readers are likely to view.
3) House Style - The color scheme, fonts, and three column layout continue the magazine's style and make the contents easy to read and recognize.
4) Design Balance - The page is evenly balanced with images and text, though there is no clear divide between the
This document discusses the design of a magazine contents page. It has a large main image in the primary optical area to attract readers. Secondary images and balanced layout with even distribution of images and text. The house style follows Kerrang magazine's conventions with a serif font masthead and subtitles in the same font. Design principles position the masthead, competition and main content strategically to guide the reader's eye across the page.
My media product challenges some conventions of real magazines but also uses several conventions:
One convention used is placing the masthead in the top left of the front cover. However, my bar code is unusually placed in the top left third, not the bottom corners.
The double page spread uses conventions like text flowing around images and using dividers between sections. However, the text could be spaced further from the image.
The contents page includes pictorial insets numbered and named, page numbers in order, and maintains the magazine's house style with colors, as seen in typical magazine contents pages.
The document analyzes the codes and conventions used in contents pages and double page spreads across four magazines: NME, Q, Mojo, and The Fly. It describes common elements like logos, issue dates, images, titles, and fonts used and how they guide the reader. However, it also notes variations between the magazines, such as Clash using a double-page contents spread instead of a single page and splitting pages into multiple columns. The goal of these design choices is to effectively organize information and draw readers in using visual elements like prominent images and titles.
The double page spread uses a typical magazine layout with a striking image on the left and article text on the right. The image is an effective medium close-up that conveys the artist's attitude. The article uses conventions like a bold artist quote, columns, a drop cap, and leading sentences to introduce the piece. The spread also includes a caption for context and bleeds the image across both pages to emphasize it.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD CODES AND CONVENTIONSAmber Stagg
This document analyzes common codes and conventions used in double page spreads across different magazines. It discusses techniques like separating images from text with clear divides, using color schemes and pull quotes to link different elements together, including publication details in the footer, and employing drop caps and multiple fonts to enhance readability. Across publications like Billboard, Clash, and NME, it examines trends like placing half the page for images and half for text, keeping layouts neat or informal based on the intended tone, and featuring large prominent images of artists to draw attention.
The document analyzes the codes and conventions used in two-page spreads across different music magazines. It finds that magazines commonly use large images of the artist, colorful titles, drop caps, and organized columns to structure text. Color schemes and direct addresses to readers are also used to create connections. However, conventions like background colors and placement of images can vary between magazines. The analysis informs the codes and conventions the author wishes to use in their own magazine spread.
This document analyzes and summarizes the key design elements of two magazine double page spreads (DPS). The first DPS is from Q magazine and discusses the small font size, sparse use of bold text, plain layout that utilizes all available space, tight column positioning, minimal color usage, and well-planned use of space. The second DPS is from NME magazine about Nicki Minaj. It has a vibrant, exciting style created by a bold central image and bright color scheme atypical of NME. The layout separates the article into different topic sections to appeal to younger readers.
The document summarizes the layout, use of space, fonts, colors, images, and page numbers on a magazine double page spread. It uses a 2-column grid layout with the left column featuring a large main image and the right column containing the headline, subheading, and article in equally sized columns. The layout utilizes nearly all the available space to appear busy and engage the reader. Font sizes are used to distinguish the bold headline from the standard-sized subheading and article text. A variety of colors are used without an apparent scheme, though red stands out on the main image. A single large main image is positioned as important as the article, with smaller supplemental images on the right. The page numbers are omitted as only
The document discusses the key elements of an effective contents page for a magazine, including:
- A masthead in the largest font that matches the magazine's house style and grabs the reader's attention.
- Photos that indicate what's inside and help readers understand the issue's focus.
- Information in house style fonts and colors that gives insight into the main topic and interviews.
- A brief using matching fonts that tells readers what each page includes.
- A clear, uncrowded layout that makes the contents easy to read and eye-catching.
This double page spread has a very organized layout with information on one page and the main image on the other to make it easier for readers to focus. The font ranges throughout but the masthead is bold to attract readers. The mode of address is direct as the main image of Justin Bieber looks directly at the audience.

instead being used within the page to follow the rule.
