Centerfold
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The centerfold of a magazine refers to a picture printed on a single sheet of paper and inserted in the middle of the publication. Another term for the centerfold of a magazine would be a center spread. Since magazines are usually stapled together along the spine, the centerfold does not have any gutter cutting through the image. Centerfolds are also frequently much larger than the publication and then folded to fit. Usually centerfold refers to nude or semi-nude pictures and pornography.
The magazine Playboy has popularized the use of the term centerfold, or alternatively, gatefold girl, to refer to a person. In this case, centerfold means the model posing in the centerfold picture, in Playboy called the Playmate. The magazine Playgirl also features centerfolds, but in their case the centerfolds, sometimes referred to as "Man of the Month", are photos of nude men. In spite of their similarities, these two magazines are owned by two separate enterprises.
