Final Double Page Spread

Check that the coverlines don't go over the edges and it is important to check punctuation; especially in the main/lead article- a : or ; would work better than a ,

I agree with Mrs D. I would also look at the colour and font type for the coverlines as these need to be clear and stand out.

Mrs D

I am pleased to see that you have some good images up now. Try and look back at your RMA research and remind yourself how the fold in the page works on the Double page spread and how the cover lines work.

Double Page Spread - First Draft

To create my double page spread in my magazine I am going to use one main image on the left hand side of the page and then seep it onto the right hand side just like it says to do in the magazine codes and conventions and like it does in the real media artefacts that I have researched into. There will also be a few smaller images of the artist in fo

rmation over on the right hand side next to the interview. These images are there to prov

ide more for

the reader to look at and to make the magazine look good

.

I have tried out this idea here in my first draft, I have used a cold font and used the colour blue to decorate the font. However this colour does not fit into the codes and conventions of the magazine as it does not fit into the house style of my magazine that I have

created so far which is blacks, yellows, reds and whites.

Here I have changed the font to red so that it fits into the house style of the magazine. I have also added a pug in the right hand corner of the magazine, this has got some gossip about a new couple that could be dating, this relates to the double page spread article as in the article I plan to ask the artist if she has any updates on her relationship.

I have changed my main image and article completely as the front cover image also changed so to fit in with the continuity I have made this boy my main article as he is the main image on my front cover. The main image like I said would be situated on the left side of the page and would gradually seep onto the left page as I noticed this is a feature used by major music magazines like NME and Kerrang.

Here I have developed my double page spread by adding another image and making the title of the article more visible by putting a black background so the white font shows up on the page clearly.

I have added a bold red piece of text in the right hand corner of the page simply stating that the article is from "Rockin' Out" magazine. The colour being re

d matches with the house style and the smae font that is used on the front cover of the magazine. I have also added the initials of my magazine and the page number at the bottom of the left hand corner so that the reader can navigate easily around the magazine.
