Music magzine double page spread
















This is my final double page spread design, i creadted the final product on DTP as it made it easier for me to do so. At the top of the page i ahve the mast head 'Caleb Jacobs' which is showing who the article/interview is about. The masthead is bold and big and also in dark blue, i did this so that it is noticable to the audeicenc and will grab their attention and stop and read the page.

The two images that i have taken for my double page are both medium long shots that are in black and white. When taking the images i knew that i wanted one of the images to show a friendly looking male and the other to look more moody and intense as this realtes to my story which has elements about how this male artist is percieved in all the wrong ways. I also wanted my images to represnt the indie genre therefore i dressed my model in clothes which i thought would be appropiate. I also wanted to keep my target audience interested and wanted the male in the photo to look independent and not like many other people and also to have something different about them. These images also link back to my main image on the front cover as this is who i wanted the main feature to be about. The images on my double page spread also use eye contact with the camera which i think makes the images seem more stronger to the audience and also makes the character in the image look confident.

The text on my double page spread is my question and answer interveiw that i decided to create for my double page spread. I decided to do my article in this way as it was more conventionally recognizable in magazines. I made the questions and answers in different colours so the audience could identify clearly who was who in the interveiw. Around the double page spread i have placed quoatations from tha article around, this is becuasue most magazines i researched did this and i also feel that it is a good way to grab the audiences attention into reading the whole article.
