Music Magazine, Double Page Spread Attempt 2 (Left Handside)

This is my second attempt at the left hand side of my double page spread. On this side of the page I have the article which is only half of a complete article as with the title there is not space for a complete article. The article would be completed on another double page spread as this is modelled on a conventional 4 page cover story from many music magazines. Between the story of my article I split it up on the other page with a large image. Having the imageadjacent to the article splits up the heavy reading of the article so then people don't get bored reading, if they find the text too strenuous.


To keep both pages consistent I have decided to use the same font, Underground Between, for the title and the first letter of the article. The stroke behind it is hte same colour, though twice as large for the title as it is bigger. The background colour is too the same with at least one of my right hand side page attempts. This helps show that the pages relate and it also keeps them consistent to one and other.



The title, "Norfolk's Saviour Returns" is important. It tells people that the artist is from Norfolk, but he is special to them as he is labelled as saviour. This also relates to the glowing around the pictures on the magazine of the artist. The position on the front cover is also religious so saviour is a key word to use there in relation to this. The returning factor shows that he has been away.



There is a small bit of information underneath the titlte giving the reader a bit of information about the article as so far through the magazine there is nothing but teasers for them to see about this main article.



The main article tries to remain quirky, with information and quotes about the artist and past details. It is written in size 11 font of Myriad Pro as it is nice, plain and simple to read. There is a clear gap in the middle which seperates the two parts of the article.



With this attempt there is a plain white background, I wanted to see the difference compared to the light cream and see which combination worked better with the other page.

  1. Why is one half of the interview in italics and the other not?

    Also, there are a couple of spelling errors in paragraph 7; 'performences' should be 'performances' and 'lacluster' should be 'lackluster'. :)
