Codes and Conventions For a Double Page spread in a Magazine


I have been looking at the codes and conventions of double page spreads in magazines this is what i have found.
  • 1 main image that stands out and is usually placed on the left of the double page to show the reader who the articles about.
  • Drop quotes are usually used on the main image and are usually exciting or controvercial to grip the reader and make them want to read the article.
  • Text is in size 11 and usually Ariel Font to keep consistency and continuity throughout the pages.
  • A stand first is used which gives the reader an insight as to what the articles talks about.
  • Bylines are put under images to give credit to the photographer or under text to give credit to the writer.
  • The main image can bleed accross two pages to show consistency to the next page and also to make the page look a lot more aesthetically pleasing.
  • The pages are Aesthetically pleasing to entice the reader.
  • Lots of writing is used, which is usually in 3-4 columns.
  • An informal mode of address is used to relax the reader.
  • The theme of the two pages is kept consistent throughout to show continuity.
  • The artists name is usually highlighted and in big writing to stand out to the reader and show them who the articles about.
  • The page number, website and name of the magazine featured at the bottom of the page.
  • Smaller images of artist are sometimes featured around the text.
