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.

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.

With this attempt there is a ligth cream colour for the background as it helps give character and make everything stand out well.

Music Magazine, Double Page Spread Attempt 4 (Right Handside)

I have now edited my right hand side of my double page spread a lot compared to how it used to look.

Compared to my other attempt this one has a white background rather than a light cream colour. I wanted to again see what the difference was with having plain white rather than a subtle colour.

I started off by resizing the image and making it a lot smaller, leaving in room to add a small border and page number. I took this decison so that it could relate to my other double page spread and it was also important to make sure that I had a page number in there so the reader knew what page they are on. Also adding the border with a background colour makes the 2 double pages consistent, so you know that they do go together.

I put a glow around the artist in the image because I want people to know he is special and he has been classed as "Norfolk's Saviour" so the glow adds to the aspect of him being important.

I levelled the whole image as I realised that I had a red filter over the image because of the original camera settings and this image is as natural as it would be to the human eye.

I used the font Underground Between for the quote as it is very easy to make

out and gets the audience's attention. I made the piece of text at the bottom a lot smaller due to the fact that it is less signifcant information.

I chose to put the page number on the inside of the page because it is unconventional, this way people know that my magazine is slightly different to others and trying to get noticed, even if it is with small details. Another reason is that page numbers are what people often look for and if they don't want to read an article they won't by simply skipping the page number. Having the page number near the spine means that people have to look in on the article to see what page it is meaning there is a higher chance the article will be read.

Music Magazine, Double Page Spread Attempt 3 (Right Hand side)

I have now edited my right hand side of my double page spread a lot compared to how it used to look.

Compared to my other attempt this one has a cream coloured background to help make the image stand out to the audience. The background colour is a near shade to the artist's skin tone which links the background colour and the image effectively.

Music Magazine, Double Page Spread Layout

This is the basic layout for both of my double spread page, pages. The one on the left is the page which will contain my article. It has a conventional title and will then have a start of an article as I won't be able to fit an entire article onto my double page spread because on the other page I will be having an entire page devoted to the artist I write my article on.

On the other page I intended to have an image of the artist I will write my article on. There will also be a quote from the artist. These are both conventional themes in music magazines. When doing magazine research I discovered that NME sets out many of their double page spreads this way.

When I create both of these pages I will be making them as two seperate A4 pages because it is easier to see where the spine of the magazine would be and that way you don't have parts of the other page carrying over onto the other page.
