My initial ideas for my double page spread

Lucy Brownnutt

This example of a double page spread is taken from an indie music magazine which is the genre of music I have chosen for my magazine.I like where the pull quote is placed here and want to position my pull quote like this.

Indie music magazines tend to have a plain white background or a really dark plain background as the backing of their double page spread. For my double page spread I think I will use a white background so that everything on my double page spread will stand out more.

Indie music magazine’s tend to use dark colours. For my double page spread I was thinking black text and also some black text as I want the model of my double page spread to be wearing black and dark blue so I would like the text to match the image.

Most indie music magazines tend to have their text going across the spread in columns like the example above therefore this is how I want to position my text. But I don’t want my main double page spread image to take up a whole page so I will have it take up around half and then have the text going across both pages in columns.
