Final Double Page Spread

 

I really like this double page spread because it's eye catching and the pull quotes I have used will make the reader want to read more of the article to gain some context about what the person is saying. The black and white image with the coloured eyes helps to make the image interesting and I like the way that the shadow goes across both pages as it gives continuity between them. I have also highlighted certain parts of the article which makes it stand out more.

Double Page Spread draft 3

This is my best draft so far, I think because the fold of the page won't affect my picture much at all. I like the shadow in the picture and I also like the font I have used for my pull quote. I think the text looks a bit boring, though and there's also too much blank space above my models head, so this is something I will need to address.

Double page spread draft 2

I like the image that I have used in this draft, but I don't like the fact that the fold is going to distort the image I have used. Also this draft looks very plain, it has no stand first and I don't like the font that I've used for the pull quote. I also don't like the fact that you can't read some of the text due to the image. I'll need to re-think these things when creating my final double page spread.

Double page spread draft 1

I like this draft, but as you can see from the line that I have drawn  down the middle of the page, the face of the person in this image would be distorted from the crease of the page. Also you can't read some of the text in the article, so this wouldn't be a good double page spread in a magazine. I also don't like the layout of the text as I think it's too boring.

Strengths of this contents page include that your colour scheme is really eye-catching and colours compliment each other well, it looks professional and looks a lot like contents pages from real music magazines, the photograph matches the genre of your magazine well, and the title is bold and attention grabbing and the fonts you have used work well.

To improve you could maybe put a border around the list of contents to bring the page together more and maybe alternate font colour to make it a little more eye-catching.

Brilliant contents page, looks awesome and really well made, could use one or two more photos - Danny

I really like your contents page it flows really well and it looks like industry standard, the only thing I think would improve it is the font of the writing in the read box beneath the picture, I dont feel it goes with the rest of the fonts.

Overall I really like the colours of your contents page, you have kept to the conventional 3 colours. I think this would attract a possible buyer, its clear and you can see the subheadings which stand out. I like your use of photography and editing within the page. There are not many improvements I can suggest apart from adding a border to your picture or making it smaller. However I think your fonts are really funky and different. :)
