I researched online music magazine double page spread to gain some ideas of how conventional magazine layouts are and what little extras I should remember to add to make my double page spread seem more real and believable. I should remember the obvious things like a page number and a date, but I should also concentrate on the layout especially with the text all in columns, and the little sub-headings on the photos.
This double page spread was a feature I found in Kerrang magazine which is a magazine that targets rock and metal music. It features an interview with an incredible famous singer called Dave Grohl, lead singer of the Foo Fighters. Having an interview with him would make fans of the Foo Fighters or fans of just Dave Grohl want to buy this magazine and read the article. Kerrang uses block boxes applying additional information to the feature and making the page seem more interesting and better to read, as it's not all in black text against a white background. Kerrang also use drop capitals giving the readers eye more exciting and interesting things to look at on the page. In this feature they use a lot of photographs from his past and pictures including his wife/girlfriend, friends and family and Kerrang put sub-headings on top of the photos to give background information, giving a reason as to why they are appropriate for the page. The biggest photo featured on the page is of Dave Grohl holding a Kerrang award, which fits in nicely as the article is featured in the music magazine Kerrang.
