Double Page Spread Research

I have looked at a few pop magazine double page spreads in order to gain inspiration. I have found that a common theme running throughout the double page spreads is that the article isn't a full article written about them it is more like an interview showing the questions asked and how the artist responded to those questions. Some of the questions are quite generalised and others are about their music. I think that this has being done to make it easier to read and so that it wont get boring quickly for a younger audience. The tend to have one main image with one smaller image included in the article. The common way to have this layed out is to have the image on one side and the writing on the other.
