Double Page Spread Research

These are some examples of double page spreads, which I have found very influential when making my magazine.
I have found that:

• The article introduction seems to alway be in bold and the first letter is always made bigger to show the start of the article.
• I have found that before the article starts, they put in a picture of the band with a quick description of what/who they are.
• the article normally goes over at least two double pages, maybe more.
• Other pictures that have been taken to o with the article are sometimes put into a collage, they are put straight but sometimes are put on slants.
• Also, the double pages always have pull quotes either putting them by the picture or in the centre of the text.
• 'MOJO' magazine state what the following article is by the bar just before the first page.
• The text style is mostly kept tidy and professional looking however the pull quotes are made to look more edgier.
• In some of the intros, key words ar put in bold indicating feelings and thoughts.
• one the first page of the article, the writer name seems to be just under the introduction.
• the pictures are a certain theme to go with he bands/artists persona.
• In interview shown, you can see that the pictures are taken during different time periods sugesting that the artist has been around for a long time.
• Also on the interview, the questions are in bold.
• There isn't a particular colour scheme, but I have seen some double pages where they have used a colour scheme. However, usually there is minimal colour.
• Some of the individual pictures have quotes of where they were taken or stating something about the band.
