Development of the Double page spread

The idea for my double page spread came from another mgazine entittled NME. NME is a British weekly magazine, the UK's most comprehensive gig guide, following Indie music from Artic Monkeys, Klaxons and Oasis. Opposed to the Vanity Fair magazine, NME is an indie rock based music magazine. Although they target the same audiences ages, they have different genres. Within the issue of NME the double page spread was on Pete Doherty and his adventure in Paris, contains a masthead reading 'Down and out in Paris and Albion.' I like the style of this its simple, yet appealing, typically NME. The picture of Pete is interesting and appealing to the common reader of NME. Where through the picture it implies him bearing himself, as he rips his shirt. Showing his ripped heart, a glimpse of him bearing all to the reader. The reader appreciates him telling of his heart-break and honesty in his open interview. The title is catching, another means of insight for the audience, appealing to continue reading. The flowing font, combined with the dull grey background does not distract the readers attention away from the deep tone of red symbalising his blood. The typical reader of NME can relate and is interested through the photo, as they intends to read on, the interview at a glance dissapoints, because its brief apprance. However the interview is written in short form, in a skybox. Although there are minimal questions they are in-depth and include the right information. Through not prolonging the interview it does not become repetitive and allows the reader just enough infomation, however the cliff-hanger suspends the reader until the next issue. That way enticing the audience to invest in the sequel double page spread.
These ideas I would like to encorporate into my double page spread, these unseen commards attract and provoke the reader further, to buy the next editions.
