Double Page Spread 3

This double spread sheet has only one image taking up the whole of the left side of the page. This will be what I would like to have as the my double page spread. So it gives me plenty more ideas. The actual image is very colourful, bold and big. This would lead to the reader seeing the image first and the looking on to the writing on the other page. The artist is wearing a grey and white jumper matching the background of the page across, along with the hat matching the same colours as the main title opposite. This is very clever to show the link between the two pages. The variety is very big with the different sizes and styles. There was not many drop capitals on the double page spread. However the title that has the same colour to the artist hat has the initials of the artist Wiz Khalifa, A big WK is the title. The font also matches the style of the title with the same colours being used Black and Orange.

This magazine is like the previous having only one main image. Although this image is a much more suitable concept and similar one to the one I will be using. This image takes up the left and part of the right page along with the centre. Although there is a lot of empty space that could have been used. The variety of font styles and sizes is very big, in this certain double page spread. It also is a very plain page with not a lot of colour being used. This does not appeal to me because it make the magazine look boring. And looks more like a newspaper than magazine. This article does not have any drop capitals. The double page only uses three colours, the colours used were black, red and white that didn’t stand out so the whole concept of the spread was very pointless. The title however does stand out and looks good because it has an unusual font unlike the others. The layout of the magazine was very good but the lack of exciting and stand out colours lets the whole double page spread down.

Double Page Spread 1

On this double page spread there is only one main image, taking up the whole of the right side page, This is one of my ideas for my double page spread so it is good too see one that I can relate to. The actual image is very large, bold and colourful which would be the first thing that the reader will see when turning the page and looking at the magazine. This artist is wearing mostly black clothing. With what looks like a black t-shirt and black sunglasses. This however does link up to the colour of the writing on the left hand side of the page. Another factor is the red tint that is used in the background of the picture, this links to the big letter J on the opposite side of the page. There is a wide variety of text styles and fonts on this double page spread. There are also many drop capitals on the page which will show the start of the article paragraphs. The main capitals is the large J located at the centre of the page on the left side, this start the whole article off. It is also linked to the name of the artist, with his name being Jay-Z. The capital J is also red which is a constant colour in this certain magazine. The opposite page has a quote that is also in red and is larger than the other text. The text on the left hand side of the page is very small in relation to the other text on the same page showing the importance of the quote.

Content Analysis

The vibe content page featuring Ciara can be classified as a convention for R&B/Hip-hop magazines. The most attractive thing at the first glance is the picture of Ciara lying on the floor with her feet held high. The semi-nudity of famous artists could be found as a very attractive thing for most of their target audiences. The background as always is plain and simple, this one creating the image of a photo shoot. The background gets black at the top where there is less need of attention and as Ciara comes on top, the background turns white, indicating importance.


The "V" from the Vibe is incorporated into the contents page to sit nicely but not enough to distract you from the important features. The page is labelled contents but is done in a unique way, which is then a convention through every vibe contents page. Under the contents sign, there are the features that relate to the image or are surrounded by some relation of the artist. Vibe is unique with their contents page, because there are three different contents page and the contents page also incorporates fashion, by describing the clothes worn by the featuring artist and their price.

The vibe content page featuring Usher can be classified as a convention for R&B/Hip-hop magazines. The most attractive thing at the first glance is the picture of Usher standing boldly, with hands in his pocket and a very appealing jacket. The power and control of famous artists could be found as a very attractive thing for most of their target audiences. The background as always is plain and simple. The background gets black at the top where there is less need of attention and as Usher comes on the left, the background turns white, indicating importance. Even though "contents" is not stated, there are clear features of the music magazine. It is clear, simple and easy to read.

 This is my First Content page that i designed, It would stand out alot because of the big Title and picture underneath, The information would be below the picture in rows to make the page look modern and organised.

                                                         
My next idea was to do the same type of title as before but set it out in a different way, i also got rid of the picture and added these boxes which will have the information inside, this make the page look very stylish and sharp

My last conten design, i put my previous ideas into one and added the sharp boxes where all the infromation would be and i also added a picture at the bottom to give the page a better look.

My first front cover idea is very basic, a picture in the left third of a student from the school, the title is very modern and stylish which helps the front cover stand out. My headline is underneath the title just next to the picture, and there a boxs at the bottom for extra description or info.

My secon Front cover is alot basic than my first, it has a different title, that looks very good and stylish, and there a similar picture in the same place for this cover aswell. I then swapped the box and headline around, so there was alot more space for information.
