Double page spread general research

 I began by researching some generic double page spreads, deciding in the process whether or not i liked the design and ideas used.

This is the first double page spread i came across, I like the layout, with the text in the left hand corner, a large picture and a large title. The text corresponds well as they have used black white and some red, to match the models shirt. The photograph reflects the title which i think is a good thing as readers are attracted to read what the article is about.

I like this double page spread because the USA is behind the picture and title, and this gives the double page spread a good look. There is not too much text, and it is placed on the right hand side, which i like but dont think i will use it for my magazine. The picture stands out and is bold and correspons with the USA in the foreground. I like this as their is not too much going on in the page but its effective.

This is my least favourite out of alll the double page spreads, i feel that the colours are too dark although the magazine has a good range of pictures and a small block of text in the middle. I think the text looks to squashed but i like the banner on the right hand side of the page as it brightens it up. The text and pictures correspond well with the title which works well.

This is my favourite out of all the double page spreads. The picture is large and the colour of the glasses match the colour of the question mark. The text is a big size so it leaves less space for a block of text. The text is situated on the left which i like. They have included a large text box in the middle with an interesting quote.
