I also looked at the double page spreads of some well-known music magazines. This one is out of the magazine Kerrang. It can be seen from the nature of the images and the red,white and back colour scheme that it is made to appeal to an older maybe more male audience. There is a significant amount of text on the pages which is layed out into columns to make it easier for the reader to follow. It also once again reflects that older target audience as they would be more inclined to read large amounts of text. The main title for the interview is a quote from the band themselves which would draw in the audience and make them more interested in reading further on. There is one main, large image of one artist in the band which at the bottom of it also has three thumbnails laid out below it to make the feature more exciting and appealing. It is also stated to be a 'World Exclusive' interview making the potential reader more inclined to reading it as they believe this is the only place they will be able to read something like this.
This double page spread is an onterview with Lady Gaga taken from Q magazine. As we can see once again the main image is large and takes up the whole of the first page, it is in black and white which makes us see that it is for a more mature audience. As the above double page spread this one also has the text laid out in columns making it easy to read and understand. Chatty, light-hearted language is used throughout both interviews which will keep the target audience engaged and make it more enjoyable for them. The double page spread also follows the same colour scheme as the other pages within the magazine which allows me to see that i too must follow a continual colour scheme throughout.
