my double page page spread has been inspired by the TI double page below. i have also chosen to use a main photo and have allowed for a whole page in which to place it. the wall the model is leaning against give a visual wall and seperates the text from the picture. this allows me to create the subtel classy look which i was aiming for and also makes the page clearer for the reader to navigate. however the grainy graphic i have used over my title also links back to the streets that hip hop was born on and shows that hip hop sticks with its roots. i also found that the wall in my picture was very complimentary of the articles story as it symbolises the dead end Mc Bang has hit. the black and white look i have chosen gives the effect of a much higher end clientel what my magazine is aimed at, the black and white stops the article from being to domineering and pushy steering away from other magazines like the source.

i have been inspired by this double page spread as it is clean, to the point, easy to read and also atracts the user due to the bold red colours against the white background!!
