Research - Codes and Conventions of a Double Page Spread

I gathered together a list of codes and conventions after looking at already exisiting double page spreads and i found the following:

  • The language used is light-hearted and chatty to engage the reader.
  • The text is layed out in columns to make it easy to follow.
  • There is a main image which is large and of good quality.
  • In the main image the artist has eye contact with the camera.
  • There are sometimes other images on the page of the artists but are smaller and from different distances (long shots, mid shots or close ups)
  • The main title will have an exciting, engaging word/phrase such as 'Exclusive Interview!'
  • Contains information about the artists upcoming tour or album release - rarely both.
  • Normally the artist interviewed has been recently successful in the music chart.
  • Same colour scheme followed as on the front cover and contents page.
