2. I am going to look at MNE magazine for an example to
find the features that need to be included in a
magazine’s double page spread. I want to find out what
features definitely have to be included and features that
could maybe not be included in order to form an idea of
the features I need to add to my own design.
3. The quote from the band
and the band’s name is
clearly visible and is in a
really large font. The
name of the band is in a
different colour so that it
stands out over the rest of
the quote. This makes it
clear to the reader who
the article is about.
4. There is one main image
that usually takes up half
a page. This is usually of
the main band member
(lead singer).
5. There is also several
smaller images that are
usually added across the
sides or the bottom of the
page, This is added to
show the rest of the band
members or to show the
band working or it even
links to parts of the article
or interview.
6. Title of the article is shown
clearly at the top of the
page it shows exactly
what the article is about
and even gives the reader
a small description of the
article.
7. There is always an
introductory line about
what the article is about
and again the name of the
band is in bold and is
clear.
The main bulk of the
article is detailed and is
written in quite a small
font. It is usually wither an
interview with the band or
an article written about the
band, It usually ends with
some information about
their new album or tour.
8. There is sometimes
something extra added
onto the page, this could
be ideas for the next
weeks main article, a
further listening section or
even some famous quotes
from the rest of the band.
This is a really good
feature to have as it
advertises other parts of
the magazine.
9. I have now seen the different features than make up a
double page spread and I now have some ideas of the
different features that I can add in order to make my
double page spread a successful page in my magazine.
