My rough cut contained some of the codes and conventions of double page spreads- but there were some I left out. As this project is a study of the codes and conventions within the music magazine industry, it is important that I showcase my understanding of them- and therefore need to include a lot of them.
These are some things that a conventional double page spread includes:
- A large image, normally taking up one A4 (one side) page
- An embossed quote (either on the picture or within the text)
- Text- normally around 11 pt, and split into 3 columns
- Photo and text credit
- A continuing colour/font scheme
- Direct address (either with 2nd person pronouns or a picture of the artist(s) looking directly into the camera
- A drop capital
- A by line under the title to explain who the artist(s) is/are
- An introduction to the article/interview
- Page numbers
- Equal page sizes
- Across an A3 page
