In this blog post, I will look into Double Page Spreads in magazines, specifically in the sports category. I plan to conduct my research using magazines available in class. To provide a thorough analysis, I will select three magazines from my genre, identify a coverline or feature story that piques my interest, and share the cover and my selection. In addition, I will include photos of the double page spread as well as a description of each image, headline, section title, pull quotes, article font format, stylistic features, and the number of columns per page in the table of contents. I will also discuss the magazine's house style and consistency throughout the cover, Table of Contents, and Double Page Spread, as well as the article's content. Finally, I'll wrap up this blog post by including images of additional sports double page spreads in the sports genre that I like.
