TOP OF THE POP MAGAZINE DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD.


From looking at four examples taken from the Top Of The Pops magazine it is clear to see that the image takes up a lot of the page and dominates over the text. The images range from mid shots to long shots however the size still remain fairly similar size when compared to the others. From the images you  can see that they all give the reader direct eye contact in order for them to feel more targeted and making the text more personal.
Other conventional features on the double page spread is that they use are the same graphic design of the page number. The effect they use is WOB (white on black) to make them stand out from the rest of the text and so people can see clearly what page they are on.
Another typical conventional feature used is little puffs of direct quotations which has been quoted from the artist in the main interview; this allows the reader to be drawn in to what is being said.
Each double page spread has also been set out in an interview format to supply the readers with lots of hot gossip and information about the artist.  
As you can see from the bottom two examples of double page spread the masthead is a quotation from what the artist has said - however it has been enlarged so it stands out from the rest of the text so it acts as a 'title' for the text.
