Final Double Page Spread


This is my final version of my double page spread, I have tried to follow the typical conventions to ensure the structure is organised. The main title is 'ISSY' which has been arranged like so to add an element of interest, a photograph of my model has been placed inside the letters to link them together and to make it look more interesting and exciting. The house colours are the same as my front cover and contents page, most of the text is in black however the pull quotes and stand first are in cerise which means the style is kept the same. The drop cap is in a serif style font to make it appear more feminine as my article is focused on the success of a young, female music artist. The questions asked are in bold, Century Gothic text which emphasises them and makes them stand out. Issy's answers are in a clear,regular Arial font to show the reader where Issy's response starts. There is a reader interaction box in the bottom left hand corner which says 'Tell us what you think' which involves the reader, the music magazine's web address of 'www.millennium.co.uk' is promoted/advertised again in the bottom left hand corner of the page to encourage people to go online and view it. A pull quote has been positioned in the centre of the interview page (purposely in capital letters) so the readers are drawn to it. The other pull quote has been put next to the largest photograph on the page which again attracts the reader and encourages them to read the full article. The main photograph is a mid-shot of Issy looking away from the camera which portrays her to be quite mysterious and cheeky therefore the reader is enticed to find out more about her. Finally, there is a page number in the bottom right hand corner which is an important convention to ensure the reader can find the page easily, it must match what is on the contents page so it's not confusing and unorganised.
