Double page spread drafts

Double page spread 5th draft: In this draft I ensured all the white gaps were filled. I also changed the font for 'let loose' to 'franklin gothic book' and then made it bold. I prefer the font of this text now because the 'T' isn't joined to teh rest of the text.
I also felt that the text was all bunched up at the top and looked quite 'crammed' I have made some space between the sub- heading and the start of the text and also made some space between the bold black lines underlining the title.

Double paged spread 4th draft:
This draft is again similar to my previous draft however I decided to change the font for 'Let loose' because I felt the second part of the title was too bold and heavy for the page. I also think this makes 'Lloyd' stand our from the page even more which is good because this is what I wanted the emphasis to be on. I decided to put a 'feather' effect on the pugs which I think looks much better, it doesn't look so heavy and makes it more interesting. I took off the black outline of the image because I felt it didn't match the style of the page. I then changed the captions for the photos. To improve this further I may add one more pull quote at the bottom of the first page to fill the gap. Overall I am very pleased with how my double page spread has developed.

Double page spread 2nd draft:
This second draft of my double page spread incorporates the blue colour which I used on my front cover. I felt this was important to include because it creates the house style for my magazine and links all the pages together so that the reader's know that all of the pages are from the same brand of magazine.

I also included a second image of the artist wearing a purple dress which ties in with the main colour used in my magazine.

Overall I am pleased with this draft of my double page spread because I feel it includes all the appropriate features to successfully attract reader's to purchase and read my magazine. I also think the images work well because they relate to the pop genre of music my magazine is. I highlighted specific words in the blue colour to catch the reader's eye and emphasise that these are the important parts of the text.

Double page spead 1st draft:
I am pleased with how my first draft of my double page spread turned out. I feel it looks sophisticated and the colours look good together on the page. I think the font used for 'Lloyd' looks eye catching and stands out from the rest of the title so that the reader can establish who the main artist is and see that this is the most important part of the title and the whole double page is about her. I also put a 3D effect on the 'Lloyd' to make ti stand out from the page. The bubble effect also emphasises the pop genre of the magazine. I put a sub- heading in a slightly different bolder font at the top of the page to isolate it and show it is an important part for the reader to look at. I then used the same font for the caption saying where to download the artists new album to link the important parts together.
I chose to do an interview style page and seperated the questions from the rest of the text by making the font purple to link with the 'Lloyd' font and the front cover colour scheme. I like how the question is in a different colour font and bold style because the reader can clearly see which parts are the questions and which are the answers. I chose to do a 'drop caps' at the start of the article so that the reader can immediatley find where the article starts without them having to search for it. I also think it makes the page look more professional. I included the pull quote in the pug to seperate break up the text.
The image is situated on the top right side of the page because the reader can read the writing first as people read from left to right. I like the image because she looks relaxed. I put an effect on the image, making it have a slight black blur around the egde to link in with the black font and make it look like its coming off the page and not flat. However I may look at using a different image because it could look too 'posed'.
To improve, I will introduce more pull quotes to break up some of the text and insert another image of the artist on the right hand side of the right page. I will also add a background effect/colour to tie in with my front cover and contents page so it doesn't look so plain. I may add an effect on the 'Let Loose' part of the title so it doesn't look too plain and simple but I have to ensure the main emphasise is kept on the 'Lloyd part of the title.'
