Double page spreads - Inspiration from other magazines

I like this double page spread because the font used for the title is similar to the font I used on my cover/contents page. I also like how simple the layout is for all the text as it makes it easy to read, and the 3 columns make it much more organised. The small text box on the left hand corner is very similar to how I organised my text in my magazine, so its good that I found a page that I can relate my magazine to. The portrait image of the band is quite striking because they all have very strong postures which makes them look a lot more interesting, especially with the waves hitting against their legs which makes them look even stronger.

This double spread page is similar to the first as its from the same magazine. Instead, they've put an extra image of their photoshoot on the top left corner which I like because it doesn't make the text look too crowded. The fact that they've used a different colour for the questions makes it much more organised, so I'm considering doing this for my magazine. There's more than 1 page for their interview, as on the first page they have a big image which covers 3/4 of the 2 pages, and they have a small column on the right to briefly say who the band is and their tour dates. However, I will only be using one double spread rather than 2 as I want it to be more concise and quicker to read.

Despite being from the same magazine of the other 2 double spreads, this one is very different to the other ones. I like that the image is on the left as opposed to the right, and that the right hand side layout of the interview is much more simple, and there's a lot more white space so its not as crowded. There are no pull quotes on this double spread but there is a stand first paragraph which briefly introduces the singer which is very useful.
