Magazine Double Page Spread

When starting my double page i began changing my ideas from my original sketch. I used the initial ideas i had but developed them into a better layout. The cretion of sections on this page with thick lines helps make the piece easier to view. The codesof this layout could reprsent teenagers segregation from adults in society and how they are treated differently. Also not only does the black boarder around each indiviual artist emphasis their roles but makes each indiviual look like they are on their own podeum; which is reflective of their partimegigs they play at. Instead of using red again for this page i changed the colour to the more suttlel tone of pink. This color is paler colour of red and links in with the bands song and lyrics; about love and the pull quote 'you dont need to see it, to love it!' This pull quote will be from the main body of the text and will link in with the bands unique image of a blind fold.

I then went on to produce some body to the artial. The language i use is informal and the word order is simplifyed to create a quick, snappy and flowing pace. I include many verbs to make the piece seem more interesting and evoke the reader senses. I decided to lengthen the black lines next to each of the band members to seperate the text into columns. I also changed the colour of my pull text to see if the colourred would work better with the magazine i was producing as a whole and relate to theme of love.

My next improvements i made to my double page spread was incorportating more color to liven the page up. I decided to go back to my pink colour theme as i didnt believe the red would work aswell and wouldnt show contrast to my other magazine pages. I decided to create a pink background around my interview picture and masterhead. I believe this made text look bolder and in-contrast to the background being a color, rather than a plain white color. I also tried out with the bold lines just having 3 instead of four o have even amount of white space at the end of the space.

My FINAL product of a music magazines Double Page Spread!

The final stages of editing to mydouble page spread was finishing of the body and filling in all the un-used gaps on the page. Firstly finishing the body of the artical i was pleased with the conversational tone i had creaed. I believe for a reader this interview would be realsitic and each member of the band their own voice. At the end of the interview i left a comment on how you can folllow blind to keep up to date with the; via the internet. This modern way a social netweorking will help create a fanbase for the band and therefore help the upcoming band become more popular in the music industry.

I changed some of thr layout again on my doublepage spread by going back to having 4 bol lines to seperate artists and text. Articals being writen in colums is a convention of the magazinesi have researched and i wanted to incorporat this technique to help the audience read and folw the text. Usually a conention of a magazine cover leave sufficient gutters betwen these colums but instead i challanged this convention by using black lines. 

Using the gradient tool on photosho i was able to create a faded light of pink on ether side of the women. Using this tool using changesthewhole of he background to this fading color effec, but i cleverly ued white sqaure boxes to cover the rest of the page so only these two rays of pink light were visiable.

The masthead of ths artical is the band name- BLIND. I situated this in the top left hand corner of the page. The position of masterhed changes in ever artical in a magazine because o the diffrent layouts and the content of the artical. I posited mine above the three pictures of the bandto help mke a reader make the conection ht this was their bad name. I a completely diferent font the sub-heaing is written in the section above the text 'Hitting the hars...' The bands relesed single name is 'Love is Bind, the use of semeotics here gives the readers more to think about. Firstly the line going through the text represents the bands blind folds but also could link to how the text is harder to read for an audience, so we have relavance to the song that we also experience this.   

Lastly i decided to add more pictues to hep fill the space an to make the piece look like less text for my teenage audiece. The pictures all link well together and show the groups fun atitudes and personalities. This is shown throug te codes of the groups facial expressions ;laughing, pulling funny faces and smiling. I found a sqaure pattern i liked look of and wanted to use to give more layers to the background. This patern not only sticks with the sqaure text and lines used in my double page spread and througout mymgazine, it looks like a dance floor or the playsation game 'dance matt'. This links in well with my target audiene as beieve they will also make these conotations.
