This is the very first screen grab of my double page spread, firstly, I added the picture of the band 'Dear Believer' and placed it in the middle of the pages, I did this because this is what some indie magazines do, so the reader knows that there is another page to the 'double page spread'. I have also added the title INTRO to my double page spread, I have added the title in the same font as the font on the front cover so the reader recognised the title and links the two together. I have also added some other text to make the magazine look more believable and professional.
In this next screen shot I have added all the interview, I have followed the guidelines as this will make my double page spread more professional looking and it will be simpler to read. I have also added a quote from the band, this will entice the reader to read my magazine as the quote anchors the reader as this makes the double page spread look exciting and interesting. I have also added a title 'Dear Believer' I have made this
In this screen grab I have completely changed my double page spread, firstly, I have changed the background to the picture of the band 'Dear Believer' I have done this because I believe and think that this makes it seem more effective and it makes the picture look more professional and it adds effect and impact to the double page spread. I have also changed the colour of the text from black to white. I have done this because black didn't stand out as much as white. The last change that I have made is that I have added all the band members names and the instrument that they play so the reader would know who is talking throughout the text.
In this screen grab I have changed the text back to black as I believed although white stood out more it matched the title. I have also changed the title to 'Are you a Believer?' I have done this because this makes the reader think more about the text and other magazines also use puns as their title as this entices the reader. I also changed the text under the picture to black as purple was a random colour and this didn't match the rest of my double page spread.
This is the screen shot of my double page spread with just a few adjustments. Firstly, I have changed the writing under the band. I have changed this to just their name, I have done this because I think this stands out more and it is easier to read, and it also mentions in the artical what instrument each band memeber plays. Also I have changed the first letter of the word of my interview I have changed it to a drop capital as I think this makes the double page spread more believable.
This is my first screen grab of the second page of my double page spread. I had to make another page as there was no room on the first page for text so I used another picture of the band. This page is still unfinished as their is gaps on the page.
In this screen grab of my second page in this screen grab I have changed the layout of the second page of the double page spread, First I have changed the quote from the band, I made it in line with the rest of my text so it fits in and all the text flows and it is also easy to read. The second thing that I have changed is the size of the picture, i have moved the text down so there is no gaps in my double page spread and so it looks full. The last thing that I have changed is the text, I have added some sentences just so the double page spread is full and so all the text is in line with each other, this makes the double page spread look equal and professional.
This is my finished double page spread, I have changed the title and the drop capital to blue as this links to my contents page and my front cover, I have also changed the names of the band to white also, as I believe that it stands out more and it flows with the rest of the text.
In this screen shot I have changed the font and the colour of the quote, I have done this because then it links with the rest of my magazine production.
