How these examples may affect my editorial decisions, and how I represent my own target audience.

After looking at 3 double page spreads, and closely analysing how each one has been laid out, it had changed my idea of how I would design a double page spread for the music magazine that I will be going to produce. I have learned that they have used the technique of big headlines, photographs that stand out well, and that also link with the initial story, also little chunks of information about the band have been used, and in some cases, tiny bits of information is put in a box about other bands, and what they're like. All of the techniques that have been used to create a double page spread draw people's attention to the interesting topic and photographs. Everything
links together in some way on the double page spreads, and the colour scheme is always constant, and never out of place on the spread. Analysing the 3 double page spreads has really changed my mind on how I would go about creating my double page spread, and also pointed me in the right direction with what conventions that I would personally use to draw my audience in to make the double page spread successful and interesting.

I think I would represent my target audience in a creative and interesting way, to keep the same conventions that other magazines have used, but change it around to make it something different, and something of my own. All the different types of genres that are supposed to be shown in the magazine will be represented in some form or another, either by use of colours, images and story headlines.
