Double Page Spread Evaluation

Layout of dps
My double page spread is very simple. It is about an RnB singer wh has made a huge come back on the music scene. I only used one close up picture of the artist because i believe its effetcive and it makes the artist stand out more. I have used the same colours that are on the front cover and contents page to keep the house style the same. However instead of using blue for the title like i have done on my front cover and contents page, i have also added a bit of gold to make it vibrant and lively in order to match the content of the interveiw. The interveiw manly about catching up with the artists and finding out about what they have instore for their fans! The layout of my magazine is very simple. I have placed the interveiw page on one side of the dps and the main image on the other. The background is the same for both therefore it all blends in together. I made the main image lighter and the colours brighter so that it stands out. In addition to that , i also used gold to highlight the key features of the interveiw, for instance the names of other artists involved, the names of the up coming ulabum and the name of the recording label. I did this to attratc readers to read this interveiw. For instance the name of the recording company i used is well known.  Highlighting it would grab the atension of floating readers with the hope that they fall i love with the whole double page spread and purchase the next magazine issue!

Content of interveiw

The interveiw is done from the fan's point of veiw so that when the audience read it, they feel like they are involved. I represented NinA.K as a very friendly, sweet, fun, mature and bold. I reflected this in the imgae i used. i in the image she is smiling in order to come across as friendly. I reflected the sweet side of her in the interveiw where she talks about her fans in a way that they can relate to her. She talks like she knows each of them in a personal way so its very easy for my readers to love her. The interveiew is mainly about finding out what Nina.K has been up to and what she has in store for her fans. I decided on this content because its exciting for the fans and readers. The most interesting part is that the its her first magazne inetrveiw since her come back and its with my magazine! I did this to attract new readers.

Construction




I started by inserting the main image first and then added the text last. I di this because i wanted to make sure that the image is the right size and that it doesn't take up the more space than it should. I figured that if put the text first, i would end up having to change the image size a few times which would lead to the image looking crumped up. I then place main heading of the contents page secondly making sure that it doesn't ineterfere with the main image. I had three main housestyle colors so i tried all of them first to see which on looked better. I ended up using a blue heading because the name of the magazine on the front cover and the title of the contents page are both in blue and it looked nicer as well.
