Double Page Research v2


























Above is the comparison between the front cover of an NME magazine and also the corresponding double page spread. As evident, the stance of the subjects in both photographs isn't hugely different - they are also all wearing the same clothes and instead of burning the magazine he is holding the burnt one. It follows the same colour scheme with the goldy text, a white background and black text also. The main article of text is evident on one side of the double page spread, with a huge Pull Quote situated in the middle of the article. There is a similar heading to the left of both the front cover and also the double page spread '60 years of NME' this helps to incorporate both of the pieces of media together to form a unified house style.

The font for the pull quotes on both the front cover and the double page spread are the same, the main article font is unique because text this small is not evident on the front page- it would not make sense to use this because it does not stand out to the reader.



2nd NME Front page and DPS






















Above are the corresponding front page and double page spread for an edition of the NME magazine. They have specific design elements that help to show the reader they're from the same magazine. The picture is the first thing we see on both pieces of media because it is so bold and large. In both the front cover and the double page spread they are both wearing the same clothes but are situated in a different stance, while in the front cover it is a close up shot of the subjects faces, the double page spread it is a long shot capturing all 4 subjects. There is minimal text on the double page spread to the right in the slim and slightly translucent rectangle. A huge drop cap is used on the text to add to the design elements of the double page spread.


3rd NME Front Page and DPS





















Above is another NME front page and double page spread from an edition of the magazine. Both pieces of media are from the same magazine but this time the double page spread is laid out differently, due to the title 'How it feels to spend 786 days on the road.' As you can see the double page spread is juxtaposed differently; there are a various amount of pictures from Muse's tour above and then a lot of sub headings below illustrating what they did; this is a unique double page spread and doesn't depict their usual style when creating a magazine double page spread. Although, they keep their unified house style by the use of the fonts and colours of fonts, like the cover only red white and black fonts are used on the double page spread.

4th NME Front Page and DPS















 Above are the matching front cover and double page spread from an  NME magazine. Although the two don't contain the same design elements across the two, the pictures help identify them together, they appear to be wearing the same clothes but in a very different stance. It is a great double page spread because of the eagle flying in the back, obviously I will  not have access to such a thing as this but I can try to make my picture as impressive as I can.
