This is a double page spread of Billboard magazine, it is very minimal . The spread includes a picture which takes up both pages this creates a feeling of space and simplicity; in addition miley cyrus is only using up the corner of the room she's in which makes the double spread look spacious, this suggests her looking vulnerable as she is cornered into a room and makes the readers want to find out more.
Double page spread- the rolling stones
This is a double page spread of the rolling stones magazine, it includes a close up picture of Adele ( who is a pop artist). Her face dominates over half of the page which already creates a bold page. The picture is the background of both pages which looks very affective as it creates bigger images and titles, this means that it is a stand out page.
The pages are black and white which suit the photo and also looks eye-catching and it uses juxtaposed colours of black and white. It also exaggerates the light and shade which adds dimension to the photo. Although the colours can be recognised as bland and uninteresting, the blacks and whites add sophistication to the cover. In addition the grey tones and Adele's blank face add a calming mood to the page and is more comfortable for the readers.
It includes an interview of Adele. I think that the double page spread of the rolling stones is more affective than the billboard one as it includes much more valuable information about the artist which seems more interesting than the other double page which doesn't include much text or images and seems quite bland. In addition in my focus group they favoured interviews and wanted knowledge about the artist more than the music genre.
Overall, I think it would be best to use one photo for the background of the double page spread which takes over both pages because it looks more attractive and creates an eye catching double spread as everything is much bigger.
