my double page spread




This is my double page spread. I wrote an article that i thought would appeal to my target audience. It was of a made up band who was the next big thing in the rock industry and my magazine had an exclusive interview with them. I asked them questions to do with their lives and about how they felt about being famous. I also tried to ask questions that i think my readers would ask. The layout of this page was quite important because i didn't want the reader to feel overwhelmed with the amount of text available to read.
That's why i decide to put the text into 3 columns and added an picture in. I also had a bar of text running through the page, to break it up, which i had taken from the article i wrote. This gave the reader a quick snippet of what was ahead. I carried the colour scheme on through out my magazine, the black yellow and red, to keep illustrating a rock magazine.
The text i used at the top, in the yellow box and on the red banner in the middle, was 'capture it' because i wanted to give the impression that the front cover merged with the whole magazine. The other text i used for the main body of writing was 'rough_typewriter'. This was to create an 'old school' effect about it to show the readers that the magazine wasn't too proper and had an element of rock about it. I have kept the magazine motto at the bottom of the page so that the reader is constantly reminded about what magazine he/she is reading. I also kept the same style of page numbering on all of my pages to keep it consistent with the rest of it.
