For my double page spread, I split the page into 3 columns which most professional magazines do, but instead of two thirds writing, I have decided to change it round so my picture fills most of the page. I have used the image of 'Dj Mike Jones' with the black and white affect to cover the page as it is the closest image I have got with technology on show, which helps accompany my article. I again have used the Tahoma font with the title in bold, and the feather gradient affect has again been used with 'The Vinyls' house style green and black colour scheme that is seen throughout. I also included two smaller images of Luciano in Ushuaia and Carl Cox in Space, both taken by me, towards the bottom of the text and this is because they help support my article and are also good pictures. Unfortunately, one image I couldn't fit in my 3 different sets of pages was the one of the young boy playing on the DJ app on the iPad, but I don't think it would fit in with the article so my decision to leave this out stands in the final draft of my double page spread of 'The Vinyl' Magazine. I also increased the distance between the lines for Mikes quote so it stands out and Mixmag also tend to do this, which means it is a professionally used style of writing.
Examiners have previously criticised students who produce a double page spread for somebody who is not the cover star.
ReplyDeleteThis really needs a large headline on the left
Text should be font size 10 and should use a Serif font - one with flicks as this is easier to read in articles.
Shouldn't be all capitals.
You have text going over the gutter which we wouldn't be able to read.
The text box could be made half see through so text stands out more.
Can't see any research! Research is worth 20% of marks and helps to stop your end products looking naff.
