Double page spread

My final double page spread is based on a double page spread from NME that I had analysed.

I have decided to use one of the pages filled with a picture from a night out which is full of bright colours. The colours mainly used are pink and black and I have decided to link it in with the text.

My two pages are linked together with two long black rectangles making the letter T. I have then carried on this with my text 'THE BEST OF 2008'. I decided to put this on a slope and then put the text underneath on a slope on the apposite way. This makes the text on the page look more interesting compared to it being flat and straight.

My article is enclosed in a pink box with black and pink lines intertwining with each other. Again I think this looks more interesting compared to the text being normal and it makes the text stand out more. Next to this I have used a similar image to the contents page of CD's stacked upon eachother, with the winner coming out ontop. This shows that because this CD is the chosen one of the chart, it is higher and better then the other choices.
