My double page spread style model

For my double page spread I have chosen a style model to emulate so that my D.P.S looks as professional as possible. As my magazine lies in the genre of rock, I have decided to use a double page spread from a rock magazine. This is because they match all of the conventions my magazine consists of and they feature similar artisits to the ones I want to feature within my magazine. Here is an image of my style models double page spread: ------------------------------------------>

There are certain features I like about this double page spread. The first feature I like is the graphology. I think that the main image of the women in the middle makes the DPS look appealing and effective. I think that my magazine would greatly benfefit if I emualted this style as it would make my double page spread look unique and professional. Additionally, I like the font which has been used throughout the pages. It is the standard font of a computer generated message which is good because it is clear and easy to read. Finally, I like the colour scheme. Blue is very bold and eyecatching which is why it would work well with the important information within my magazine. I am thinking of doing an interview style double page spread which is why I think that a red font would work better for the questions and a black font for the answers would work very well.

I also like how the text wraps around the image; but only slightly. I think for my double page spread, I will have an image similar to the one shown in this style model but with text wrapped around it on the left. The right text will then be 'columnised' so that the page is clear and easy to read.
