Here is my final double page spread for my music magazine.





Final Double Page Spread Construction

Here are the changes i made to my double page spread and how i done them.


Changed text of main cover line Bernard MT Condensed. Changed the colour of the blurb to white with black outline. Add some of the content of the interview on to the first page.  Took away the red box around the pull quote and made the commas red.


Added the date, page number, magazine number and magazine website to the bottom of the page.


I took away the background of the pull quotes and made the comas red and changed the font to Minion Pro. I added a caption under the photograph.
 

I changed the colour of the question font to red so they stand out on the page.


I changed the colour of the font on the first page to red with a black outline.


Here I added on twitter questions and I used Lucida Sans to change the font from the main article. I made the question font a different colour so they are easy to red and I added a colour to the box to add more colour on to the page.


I added 2015 tour dates to the page so that you are up to date with her latest gigs.

Here i added a small caption beside the photos to say what they where about and which article or feature they where related to.
