Double page spread research

To begin my research, I started looking at different magazine double page spreads.

This is a double page spread from Vbe magazine

This is a double page spread from Q magazine

This is a double page spread from xxl magazine

As you can see from all the examples of the double page spreads, they all consist of large images of the artist which stand out from the rest of the pages.
The majority of the images are Medium shots of the artists apart from Vibe magazine where is a portrait long-shot.  The editions with women in the double page spreads tend to have sexually appealing pictures which will grab the readers attention and will make them read the rest of the magazine. On the other hand the pictures of the males tend to have them looking at the camera with straight face. They will be shown with expensive jewelery and clothing which would appeal to the male audience as that is what all the male audiences would want.
