Double Page Spread Inspo

I researched multiple magazines within the Indie pop genre to see the layouts of their double page spreads. Magazines such as 'Q' magazine and even 'Billboard' magazine reported on such artists and genres and caught my attention; I particularly liked the way 'Q' Magazine used the layout of the spread to create such an impact on their readers. Using an extreme close up shot on the left hand side of the page, grasping all of Lana's features. The image is dark which contradicts the colours used on the second page. Also Lana's eyes are closed in the image, this goes against the usual magazine conventions in which the subject of the image usually stares into the camera in attempt to create a connection with the reader.The writing about Lana is placed completely to one side, the right hand side to be precise.There is a variety of font sizes, (the introduction is written in a larger font suggesting its importance to be read first) again using black simple font up against a white background creates a contrasting feeling.This therefore makes the page look neat and structured. I decided to use this as my double page spread base and inspiration. I wanted to apply the same conventions and layout to Sanity Magazine.
