new layout inspiration

For my new double page spread I have decided that this layout will be more suitable for the genre of my magazine as it is simplistic and very effective for the target audience I am aiming my magazine at. It uses a large main image featuring two rappers who take up the whole of the page, making them the main attraction of the double page spread. It then has a quote as the title setting up the article. It has used two different backgrounds for the image and the article. This was done to as the two are very different and use different colours to stand out from each other, therefore to make them stand out individually they needed to uses to separate backgrounds. This to me seems unprofessional and takes away any theme the magazine may have had, as using two different ranges of colours separates the image from the article to much. I like the layout and design of this double page spread and therefore will use a similar layout, however I will use the same colours for my image and my article and also for their backgrounds so that it follows the trend of my magazine. I have decided to use a similar image, As I already had two artists in my rough cut DPS, so I will need new pictures, but of the same models for consistency.
