Double page spread research

Kerrang

This double page spread from Kerrang is a interview with the the lead singer Jared Leto from 30 Seconds to mars. it is laid out as a question and answer piece with one quote in the middle which stands out. the fist questions are about his music and recent success, then the interview becomes more relaxed and light hearten. the interviewer asks questions more about his life which gives the interview a more personal feeling. I think that the picture in this spread works extremely well. it is a extreme close up but in great detail. it almost looks as if he is reading the text with you.





This double page is from Q and is a interview

Q

with Damon Albarn. it is again a question and
answer layout. through the middle there are photos
of records that he owns for example his fist ever
record. the questions start casual "how has you day
been?" then they go to his career and similar to
Kerrang the questions become light heated and more
about his day to day life.  I think that the picture in
this works well and is in great detail however to me
he seems isolated on the other page, however the two
do look like they belong together.


This double page spread from NME is a interview

NME

with Rostam Batmangly from Vampire Weekend.
this unlike the others is not laid out as a Question and
answer instead it tells the story of the interview in a more
traditional way. in the middle there is a insert advertising
there new album.  the picture in this one for me works
well as it gives a idea of his personality.







In all the three different magazines the covers all look very different however the double page spreads look similar and could all be from the same magazine. they all have one page for the picture and one for the content. They all have a insert in the middle and the interviewers style are similar also.
