Double Page Spread Update

With the images I have below I was able to create a finished Double page spread. I was very pleased with the way the final picture turned out and so instead of covering over their clothing which resembles the kind of music they are, I inserted my other images with the article on the right. 

I have stuck to a lot of the generic conventions such as using the band logo font, including a pull quote, an Enkore title in the corner. There is also smaller details like the names of the interviewer/photographer and editor down the side.

However the double page is not quite finished as there are some minor errors that need to be corrected in the article itself and the page number is on the wrong side.

Plan for Double Page Spread

The plan for my double page spread what based on two artifacts from NME and Kerrang. The title was based on a Foo Fighters article from NME which very effective as it was aesthetically appealing to the audience.

I have also decided that I might put in more than one photograph depending on how the main image looks, as it might not need to be reinforced by other photographs. 

The article in Kerrang about Biffy Clyro was a great read. As a consumer of the magazine, I throughly enjoyed reading an interview styled article. For me, these are far more real and nothing is censored, it's just the band talking and saying what they want, which leads to a very laid back conversation between the interviewer and the band members. 

Front Page update

This is my completed front cover template. After making the adjustments to my Contents Page, I have to change the masthead on my front cover so that the house style continued through the magazine.

For my magazine cover, I wanted to give it a gender diversity so that it would attract audiences of both sexes, so I will attempt to have a balanced amount of men and women on my cover.

For the next stage I will need to insert the final images and also add in some final features that gives the pictures definite meanings, like Free Posters and also text for the main image.

Contents page update

During this session I have focused on completing the main part of my Contents Page. I made a few adjustments which did mean that some changes had to be made on my Front Cover also. Such as the title, it not blends nicely, and matches the colour scheme without looking very 'try-hard' like the smashed effect.
On the contents page it was important to use a variety of images to show diverse articles throughout my magazine. I made a live photograph to show that it's not all about the studio albums, however there is a computer generated image which I have used as the album cover for a band.

I was pleased which how much information I managed to fit on to the bottom half of the page and I think it looks very realistic by comparison to my style models.
