Preliminary Research- Double Page Spread

Preliminary Research- Double Page Spread

By: Sharmeen Shivji

    For my double page spread I want to have only one page of writing rather than covering up both pages because I feel like two would be too much and it would bore the reader . Additionally, on the page with the writing I also want to add pictures, I think the overall look I'm going for is professional yet with a hint of liveliness and fun. 

Double Page Spread #1

The reason I chose this double page spread because it went hand in hand with the theme of my magazine which is successful people. This spread is about two individuals who started their own sustainable fashion business. The layout of this spread drew me in because I like the idea of writing only on one side rather than both. I'm not a big fan of the colors chosen here but I like the way it is organized. 

Double Page Spread #2

I chose this spread because it was something new. Rather than having a basic story and picture this spread is in a question and answer format. Additionally, this was a four page spread as the first two were pictures of the model and an introduction of the model. I really like this new format of the question and answer and it is definitely an element that I want to include in my magazine.

Double Page Spread #3

The reason I chose this double age spread was because it was way more personalized to the person it was about with the pictures. It had less writing which was formatted in the question answer way. I just loved the way it was organized with the vertical columns, simplistic writing, and variety of pictures.

The double page spread that I want to do would have to be something that has as I mentioned before, would have more pictures and less writing. Additionally, I really like the format of the question then answer, it wasn't something I really thought of before but now that I have seen examples of it, it seems like a perfect interview page.
