Conventions of a music double-page spread
- The imagery and text must not cross the page joint.
- Large, colourful quotes to attract the reader to an interesting point in the article.
- Band/artist name in the top corner closest to the edge of the page.
- Captions underneath some images.
- Band name & album names in full caps whenever mentioned.
- Information about the bands current album/tour in a separate box/shape.
- A large letter to start the article, which indicates a starting point to the reader
- Images may intrude the columns of writing to keep the article structure interesting and non-conformist
- The interviewer and interviewee must be in different coloured fonts, to distinguish easily when the speaker changes
Whilst looking through Metal Hammer & Kerrang!, the majority of interviews are 3 or 4 page spreads, rather than just 2. This means that I will have to restrict the space I use for pictures to fit in a respectable amount of text.
