Today i have been a little stuck on what else to do and add in into my double page spread. So instead of going on photoshop today, I bought a handfull of music magazines and researched online for some ideas on double spread pages. I now have a better idea on some of the things i can add in mine. So far it seems to be going
well. This is a picture of the magazines I collected and looked through...

I was able to view the billboard magazine online. Unfortunately i could not find the entire magazine and therefore not find any double spread page in the magazine but i did try very hard as Billboard is a magazine that i believe is most similar to the image that i am trying to portrait through my magazine.

This left me with the 2 double spread pages below the billboard front cover, both  have different designs and layouts that left me thinking how i would like mine to be formatted. The middle one has a portrait layout with the text spread right across the page. The text isn't the only thing spread round the page, the main character herself is spread right across the page and is really useful in capturing the eyes of the audience.

The last double spread page is formatted in a landscape way. This double spread page intrigued me as i hadn't thought of anything like this. This is the advantage of researching and looking up other magazines  as i get ideas that i wouldn't have thought of. This magazine intended to have half of the double spread page just  displaying a picture of Tinie Tempah  while the other half gives an article about him. I believe having half of the double spread as just a picture emphasises the character and can also capture the eye of the audience VERY easily depending on the look of the character or in this case the reputation of the characters ( Famous Rap star Tinie Tempah).  Both picture and article are Landscape, this opened a new channel of thought for me as i only imagined a double spread page being portrait but this magazine have done it the other way and it still looks good.
