My magazine Double Page Spread


I have split my double page spread in two. I have done this by placing an image of my model as one half and the interview of the artist as the other. On the interview half I have used boxes to split certain sections of the interview. I have overlapped the title of the feature with the picture, because I didn't want a definite split between the picture and the interview, I still wanted it to look like the same feature. To get the font I wanted I had to search on different font generating websites,  I finally found the font I wanted on the website www.fontspace.com. My inspiration for the font was the Alice in Wonderland inspired font called 'AliciaWonderland'. I had made sure that when it was expanded to the size I would like, the resolution would be able to uphold.  Behind the title I have placed a pale pink box, so the title could be seen clearer, because of the contrast between the two colours. I have done the same thing with the introduction to the interview, again so the black writing could be seen clearer. For the interview section I have used the same light pink, but I have used it in an 'L' shape so it's easier to create the columns I would need for the questions. In the empty space, between the 'L' shape and the introduction, I added a Fact File for any fans of the artist. I chose to do the background of the fact file in a different shade of pink, because it will break the colours up and also stop the feature from looking the same colour.  When doing this, I had also tried to match the darkest pink colour with the shade of my models lipstick. This ensures everything within the feature will tie together. Whereas the lighter shade of pink I matched with the background of the Front Cover and the flowers, the subscription box, and the box behind the title on the contents page. This ensures the whole issue would be tied together and have the same colour scheme.  In the fact file I have changed the colour of the anchorage, I changed it to the colour white, because I felt as if there was too much black on the page already. Changing the colour made it look more effective, because the white stands out more against the darker shade of pink. Next to the fact file, I have placed pictures corresponding to three of the different facts to give more colour to the feature. I have used images of chips, my dog when he was a puppy and an image of Harry Styles. I have also added a quote from the interview onto the side that has the image on it, because this would entice the reader to read the interview. and also make the consumer wonder what the artist is talking about.  Just like the contents page I have placed the page number in the bottom right hand corner in the same colours as before.
