Double Page Spread Research

For my double page spread the layout is a very important aspect. The positioning of the text and the main image varies between the examples found. Some clearly put the image on its on page and separate the two pages very boldly. Whereas others have either the image or the text flow across both pages or just going into the other page.











I would also need to decide how many images to put on double page spread. At least one big main image is needed, as it is conventional and is a easy way to straight away tell the reader who the artist/musician is and images can hold more connotations than words offen can. But sometimes more than one image is used, though the second or third image is often much smaller and not as significant. But using to many images will quickly overcrowd the page. In the picture bellow on left; the editor has used six images and still used the space well. Whereas the two images above are both quite empty and blank pages if the text is taken away. The use of the busy of the page seen bellow on the left also helps with the connotations of quite messy teenagers and rebelling. The page bellow and to the right however has used multiple images but a lot more text than the top right example, showing that using more images would not sacrifice space for text.
