Double page spread ideas

There are two ideas that I have come up with, to possibly use for my double page spread. The first is an interview with a new and upcoming rock artist who my target audience will initially know very little about. Therefore if I decide to use this idea, I will be doing so in conjuction with the format of my first double page flat plan. This is because this format has the majority of its space dedicated to images, which will appeal to target audiences as they would want to know what this new artist looks like, and what they are about which is represented more effectively through a series of images as opposed to just one. In addition to this, the first flat plan also has less space for text, which would work well as because this artist is new, there would not be a great deal of information to write about their muscial career as it is only just beginning.

The second idea that I have thought of possibly using for my double page spread is an article on a band member having recently split from a rock band. This would be controversial, as the story would involve information that has not before been released, and it will tell the story from the point of view of the band member that left. It will cover the reasons why they left the band, which I think will appeal to my target audience as they would be interested in knowing the truth. In addition it will cover what the ex band member decides to do next in their career. If I choose to pick this idea, I will most likely use the format from my second flat plan, as this has adeqaute space for text, which will be needed. It is also laid out in an extremely regular way as text and images are placed on seperate pages.I think this will work well for this story as it presents the article as getting straight to the point and being forward.
