Final mock of double page spread

This is my final mock design of the double page spread. i feel that this one will work the best and it looks professional. I now need to create the text to go one the pages. I think i will either do a general interview or a review on a performance.

2nd Flatplan

 This is  my second flat plan. I feel that this one has a stronger impact and will look more professional. This is the one that i will use as a template for my work.

Double page spread research

Double page spread

I have done a lot of research into magazine double page spreads and i have found these two that i like the most. 

The first one with Rita Ora in uses the same colours as i use for my colour theme.(red,white and black) I like the fact that it has the image as the whole background. Using the brick wall it makes it have more of a grunge feel to it which is the look i', going for. I also feel that her name written across the top is very affective as it almost looks like it has been written in blood which also relates to the grungy feel. The writing also covers her face but make sure that her eyes are still being able to connect with the reader. Another strong aspect of this double page spread is that there are boxes surrounding the main body of the text which makes the text stand out more. It creates an edgy feel.

Whereas the second double page spread with Adele in is the complete opposite! The text almost wraps around Adele and this creates more of a warming feel to it. The colours are also black and white which gives me a good indication of how it will look when i produce my double page spread. I like how the picture is the dominant object of the piece and this makes it stand out from others. It also makes it look like there isn't as much text on the page which always makes the reader more inclined to read the whole story. The writing on this page varies in size. This is a good technique to use when trying to grab the audiences attention. 

I feel that Rita Ora's double page spread style will suit my genre better then the Adele one. However i will still use some of the techniques used in the Adele one as this will create more dynamics to my double page spread. 

Contents page re-draft

This is my re-draft of my contents page. I have added more content to it and more features. For example i have used a plug and puff to catch the readers eye. I have also stayed with the colour scheme as it makes it look slick and more professional. I have also added a web page address at the bottom for a more authentic. I still need to add 2 more pictures to it but i feel that i have made great progress and i'm happy with where i am. I need to make a few tweaks along the way but i'm nearly finished with the contents page now.

Content page 1st lesson draft

I have changed the layout of my content page because i didnt feel that it went with the type on music i was going for. I have gone for a more simple design. I feel that the beginning of my draft has met that requirement. The colours are black, white and red. These are the same as the front cover. i feel that this is good because i am carrying the theme through.
