This is my double page spread research and development.
REVIVAL TIMES - Autumn Spring 1998 Issue
Published by the Revival Fellowship
Reflection:
I found that this magazine's double page spread was pretty disappointing. The formatting is pretty disgusting in my opinion as it is the most disorganised layout ever with inconsistent text spacing and size. It is missing a few features that I want to incorporate into my magazine such as a pull quote, subheadings, dropcaps, and mode of address that directly speaks to the audience. I have not been that all inspired by this double page spread and instead will be making an effort to make mine look as best as I can possibly make it. However, I am quite inspired by the story inside and will be making an effort to try to replicate the story in my magazine and attempt to adapt it to be different and more relevant to my magazine's theme. The only difficult part about analysing this article was that it hurts my eyes to look at.

THE TRUMPET - Fall 2014 Issue
Published by the Potter's House Church Prescott
Reflection:
I found that this magazine was a bit better in terms of the layout of the double page spread. The captions go nicely over the images and the columns are neatly done with . The pictures are orderly and look good with the text wrapping around it. Though I am not a huge fan of the background as I think it looks very poorly done. However, I am impressed by the number of features it has decided to include, such as dropcaps, neat columns, an easy to read headline, and eye catching images. Though I am not a huge fan of the font being Times New Roman. With regard to the article, I think I found it interesting and I will be taking inspiration from it and adapting some of it to my article on my magazine. The only difficult part about analysing this article was that it was a pretty long. My article will not be this long.
