Double Page Spread Draft

I think this double page spread although I have not attached my article yet because it gives connotations of quite a grungy look with the brick wall in the background and as the sole focus is on the girl. The triangle sign she is making reinforces that the article is about her and her facial expression suggests to the audience that she has attitude and would fit into the modern rock scene. By using the red and black combination it fits in with the house style of my magazine.

Drafts For Double Page Spread

This is my first draft for my double page spread, I like the image used as it is not a typical convention of a double page as the model is often making eye contact with the audience and the shot is usually a mid shot. I also like the formatting of the layout as it is also unconventional to only have one column for a double page spread. It also makes the text clearer and easier to read. The large 'Venus Stone' text creates a house style for the magazine as it is the same red colouring throughout the magazine and as my model is the same throughout the magazine it create continuity.  However, I dislike this double page spread as I have not used page numbers or a pull quote to attract the audience as this si a common convention within a music magazine. I also dislike how this draft appears quite plain and dull and not really portraying to the target audience that it is modern rock magazine.

For this double page spread draft, I like the use of the large main image as it shows to the reader that the article is about this girl. By having the large red 'VENUS STONE' title it links the article back to the front cover as I have used the same font which helps to create a house style. By also having the artist wearing the same clothing it also links the double page spread back to the front cover keeping with the same theme. By using this image, it suggests to the audience that the sole focus of the article is about the artist, Venus Stone as symbolising a triangle with her hand helps to navigate the readers attention to the girls face. However, on this double page spread I dislike how I have not used a headline at the top of the double page spread. I have also decided that I will use a pull quote for my final double page spread as it is a common convention of a double page spread. It will also allow the reader to relate to the article more as pull quotes are often used to catch the audiences attention. I have also decided that I will change the location of the name 'Venus Stone' and switch around where i want to put the pull quote. I may also near the page numbers, put the title of the magazine Hype, so that the reader can relate back to the magazine.

Contents Page Draft

I have decided to change my layout of my contents page entirely because i believe the drafts I have already made are very unconventional of a modern rock magazine. I have researched various modern rock magazine contents page and believe the majority are structured like this. As i wanted my music magazine to be conventional I believe this is a better idea then my other drafts.
