This document summarizes and analyzes the layout, design elements, and effectiveness of two music magazine double page spreads. For NME, it notes the bold colorful titles and image that stand out and make it eye-catching. For Q, it comments on the bold titles and image but judges the NME spread more effective overall. Both spreads are deemed good for their music genre.

really well because the
colour red is the most
eye catching colour to
the human eye. The image on the front
