Double page spread research

Double page spread

I have done a lot of research into magazine double page spreads and i have found these two that i like the most. 

The first one with Rita Ora in uses the same colours as i use for my colour theme.(red,white and black) I like the fact that it has the image as the whole background. Using the brick wall it makes it have more of a grunge feel to it which is the look i', going for. I also feel that her name written across the top is very affective as it almost looks like it has been written in blood which also relates to the grungy feel. The writing also covers her face but make sure that her eyes are still being able to connect with the reader. Another strong aspect of this double page spread is that there are boxes surrounding the main body of the text which makes the text stand out more. It creates an edgy feel.

Whereas the second double page spread with Adele in is the complete opposite! The text almost wraps around Adele and this creates more of a warming feel to it. The colours are also black and white which gives me a good indication of how it will look when i produce my double page spread. I like how the picture is the dominant object of the piece and this makes it stand out from others. It also makes it look like there isn't as much text on the page which always makes the reader more inclined to read the whole story. The writing on this page varies in size. This is a good technique to use when trying to grab the audiences attention. 

I feel that Rita Ora's double page spread style will suit my genre better then the Adele one. However i will still use some of the techniques used in the Adele one as this will create more dynamics to my double page spread.
