Influnces for my Double Page Spread

While I was designing my double page spread, I searched for music magazine double page spreads that would inspire me to come up with my own design. Here are some of the ones that have influenced my design:

This double page spread has certain features which are included in my own design; the use of colours in this design is quite similar to mine, for example the red box which surrounds the first letter of the article. My design uses the same colour scheme which is red and white. In addition, the white box which surrounds the article text is almost similar as mine, however I made mine slightly transparent.

Similarly to the previous design, the colour scheme is very identical to my own design with the use of red and white text. In addition, the central image is in black and white so it is the same as my design. The use of large texts as quotations has also influenced me to enlarge the quotes on my design. There are also secondary images on this design which made me decide to include secondary images on my own design.

Unlike the previous designs, this double page spread writes the article around the cover model which I think is very creative. The other designs have the articles written away from the cover model but this doesn't; this has influenced me to do the same so I included the articles around the cover model rather than away from the cover model.
