Here are some examples of double page spreads from Q and NME magazine that I would like my magazine to be like. I like these double page spreads because they are clear as to what genre of music the magazine and article is on. 
The star of the magazine is clear to the audience, the main cover is clear in all of them and all of them i would personally be attracted to read. 
I will used these as inspiration for my magazine.
