Magazine double page spread similar designs

I have seen this NME double page spread about Graham Coxon, the lead guitarist in Blur. The layout of this magazine is extremely effective as half of it is taken up by a picture of Graham. The image is a close up of him. on the other side of the double page spread there is a huge quote of something he says during the interview. This quote is a very notable one and a funny one, which I think is a good idea as it really draws the attention of the reader and makes them want to read exactly what Coxon has to say. There is a headline underneath about what he actually talks about in the interview, then the actual text. I think this is a good design, as the image is powerful and so is the quote, but I think I may want to use more than one image. I think the font of the quote is great because its bold and a bit funky, but also really clear. The rest of the font is fairly plain. I think I will keep my fonts fairly simple. The actual image is really effective, as he is looking straight at the camera and he is right up in your face which I really like, I think this is a really good shot type to use. The colour scheme is very plain, a white/grey colour, contrasting with the image and the colourful clothes. I think this is great. I love this double spread.
