FINAL MUSIC MAGAZINE DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

STAGE 1- THIS IS WHERE I INSERTED A HEADLINE, MY MAGAZINE BRAND AND AN IMAGE, THIS WAS THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE LAYOUT WHICH THE TEXT WOULD SOON EVOLVE AROUND AND ALLOW ME TO DEVELOP THIS FURTHER ON.

STAGE 2- I NOW INSERTED TWO DIFFERENT BANDS OR MUSICIANS WITH ADDED CAPTIONS AND REFERRENCE TO WHERE YOU CAN FIND THIS. AS WELL AS THIS, I INTRODUCED A COLOURED BANNER DOWN THE SIDE AS IT MADE THIS LOOK MORE COMPACT AND NEAT WHICH ALLOWED IT TO BE EASIER TO READ.

STAGE 3- THIS STAGE IS A BIG STEP FROM THE LAST, I BROUGHT INTO THIS MY INTERVIEW FROM THE BAND WITH A PHOTO OF A MODEL WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED AS A BAND MEMBER AND HIS IMAGE SHOWS A BOLD AND GIVES A ROUGH IDEA OF WHAT THE BAND ARE LIKE. I ALSO AT THIS STAGE CHANGED THE HEADLINE AS IT WOULD MAKE MUCH MORE SENSE WITH THE OVERALL FLOW OF THE INTERVIEW.

STAGE 4 - AFTER THAT, I ALSO INSERTED THE BOLD AND BIG FONT, RED TEXT AS THIS WAS USED AS A KEY QUOTE THROUGHOUT THE INTERVIEW AND MAKES IT STAND OUT FROM THE REST. THIS IDEA WAS ESTABLISHED FROM MAIN MAGAZINES LIKE THE ROLLING STONE OR INDIE IN WHICH THE QUOTE IS HIGHLIGHTED IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT TO MAKE IT STAND OUT.

STAGE 5 - FINALLY, I BROUGHT THE BOLDER AROUND THE EDGE OF THE DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD AS ITS BRIGHT AND VIBRANT SO PEOPLE ARE MORE DRAWN IN TO READING THIS ARTICLE. MY IDEA FOR CREATING THE CONTENTS PAGE WAS THROUGH MY DESIGN OF HAND DRAWN THUMBNAILS AND CONSISTED OF EIGHT COLUMNS WHICH INFORMATION WAS THE MAIN FOCUS IN THE ARTICLE WITH THINGS LIKE FEATURES WHICH CAN ATTRACT MANY MORE PEOPLE.
