Through analysing three double page spreads, I have tried to discover the common codes and conventions of articles and the spread itself. I have completed this research so that I can apply these codes and conventions to the product that I will be producing (Music Magazine). Armed With this research that I have currently just completed, I feel as though now I fully understand the codes and conventions of a double page spread of a magazine and will be able to apply them to magazine that I will be producing. Below are print screens of the three researches that I conducted recently:
Analaysis 1
Analaysis 2
Analaysis 3
After conducting this research I have released there are some key elements to following codes and conventions of a double page spread within a magazine. These are things such as; keeping to a strict border line, using images and graphics to make the page more attractive and giving an extra insight into what is in the magazine, using images where the character is looking at the audience, using a variety of colours and fonts, the use of drop caps, avoiding dead space, the use of a big bold san serif masthead, the use of cover lines/lures and to use a masthead to clearly display what the page is and try to make this masthead clear to the audience. All of these code and conventions are ones that I will be trying to apply when creating my first drafts.
