Double Page Spread

This is my double page spread for my music magazine. To create it, I used Microsoft Publisher, which is a good application to use when it comes to designing magazines. Overall, I feel that it does follow the main conventions of a double page spread. These being that it labels who the artist is and gives the readers an inside edge about them. The interview is 'exclusive' which gives them an incentive to read on. In this case, I have tried to make it look different to ensure that it stands out to the teenage target audience. . The writing is a nice calm, small font, introducing a tone of seriousness. Finally, from the double page spread, the picture has been edited in black and white, giving off both a serious and old fashioned tone. The medium, long shot is used to gather in the surroundings and also take into account the artists props, such as the watch and chain. This type of shot also builds up a sense of location. It is shown in a low angle, which emphasises the power of the artist, conveying that the interview is going to be about him. In an order, I firstly looked at which picture would look aesthetically pleasing to the target audience. I left the background plain, with the black writing, as it blends in nicely, ensuring that the writing sticks out to attract potential readers. To stick to the conventions of the magazine, I ensured that the writing for the interview was the same font, making it easier for the audience to read.
