This double page spread has been taken from the magazine 'Rock Sound' and uses a large image to cover two pages with a smaller article.
The effect of using this large image is so that the reader gains instant interest by being able to directly focus on a large image.
This is therefore more successful than using smaller images as the reader is able to focus more towards the article related with the individual image and it looks more appealing to read as it is shorter, and as the article continues onto another page, the reader will be more likely to continue reading. For the image, the individuals are all wearing similar colour clothing which identifies them as a group. The magazine then uses yellow title boxes in the corners as to make them stand out as the section within the magazine on band 'exposure', this stands out to the reader and draws them even further into looking at the page and reading the article. The image also presents the main/lead person in the band to be percieved as the person in the centre as he is the person with the most animated expression, while the others look closer to being contempt. This ensures that the reader is focusing more upon one individual that the article may focus on.
This double page spread is within 'NME' magazine and has a large amount of text and images. This is a large contrast to the double page spread in 'Rock Sound' as it uses several images rather than one and uses several smaller articles. The large titles for each article are clearly displayed, making it simple for the reader to know which article is associated with each image. It uses similar techniques as the contents pages by using text boxes to surround the articles, this makes the articles stand out against the images and colour upon the page, making it more attractive for the audience to read as it is very clear and also short. 'NME' has a successful double page spread as it also includes small advertisments along with images to make the page more attractive and 'busy for the reader.
