Research - Double Page Spread

For my double page spread, I decided that I would need to find out what kinds of aspects that I should consider when writing my article and forming the pages:


These double page spreads have appeared in issues of Kerrang!, Mojo, NME and Q. These have great inspiration upon me. I feel that after viewing these, I should include some features like pull quotes in large letters in the middle of the text, large images and drop caps at the beginning of the text. Also, I would like to include some text wrap as in the first and second picture, which have been carefully wrapped around the pictures which have been cut out. After reading some of these articles, it gave me an idea on what I should improve on my double page spread article, and the type of language used. Some of the language used in these articles is colloquial, for example, featuring in the second double page spread: "you fucking whore" and "yeah". This interests the audience more than formal language as it is modern day language, and for some reason, the population of the world seem to love swearing as a whole. However, my article is going to be more about the girl's rise to becoming famous with a new single. I feel this will be interesting to my target audience as many young people will be interested how a young teen managed to reach the fame at such a young age.
