Double Page Spread- Complete




This is the complete final copy of my double page spread. I feel is is quite successful as i included many standard conventions in order to make it look as
realistic and professional as possible.

Firstly i inlcuded a heading, reading the name of my featured artists tag name 'Scorps'. I downloaded the font Outlaw from the website dafont.com.
I felt this was a signature font as although is streamlined and has a professional
look, it is also playful in the respect it looks like the characters used in a
fruit machine, reflecting the hardworking but also playful side to my artist.
Underneath in a more simple Arial, regular font, i wrote 'not a businessman but
a business man'. This presents the reader with the idea that not only does he produce
music but he's also educated.
In order to entice my reader i included introductory text in the same Arial font, but made this text larger and included an outer glow in order to catch the readers eye. Above this i positioned an image of my model dress in quite casual costume.
I aligned my text in order to follow most layouts of ordinary magazines but also to make the readers eye follow down the left hand side of the page, and up to the top on the right column and back down.
I also using photoshop uploaded three photos i had taken and placed them into polaroids, in order to extend this playful idea presnted earlier. These images fill
the top right hand of the page and break the centre fold.
I have also included a pull quote, necessiry in any magazine to make it look realistic. My research of double page spread influenced my positioning of this pull quote, as in the 'Little Boots' article it is placed and almost breaks the text. It is in the same font, just of a larger size.

I also include a slug reading 'Interview', this was of the same font used on my front cover masthead (downloaded from 1001freefonts.com) - called Whoa!. I used the same font in my footer to write unleashed in a small font at both the bottom left and right hand side of the page. This was to have some sort of theme or fluency in my work but can also be found in existing media products. In the same place, in an arial font you can find the page number, also a standered convention magazines use.
