Questions for my double page spread

i researched lots of different double page spreads from different magazines, i looked at top of the pops, kerrang and lots more, and these are a combination of them all.
What do you describe yourself as?

How did music change you?

Regrets?...Have you had a few?

your new album is coming out July-ish. can you tell us anything about it> is it different from the others?

who's the most famous person in your phone book?

where has been your favourite place to perform?

Whens the next tour?

apart from singing are there any other talents you need to tell us about?

Here is my double page spread i have worked on. recently i worked on taking the back round out on my individual pictures of amy, i did this on photoshop. firstly i made them black and white apart from the main image which i wanted to stand out therefor i left that in colour. i have tried to get it perfect but i may still do more work on them. i want them to look sharp and smooth.

rough sketch of my double page spread

this was a very quick sketch of what my double page spread is going to be.

editing double page spread

i am currently working on my double page spread for my jukebox magazine.
i am working on taking the background out of the pictures so i can match it to my style model, i have the same girl doing different poses in black and white, which looks effective. also i'v started to write my interview.

planning double page spread

i have researched the conventions of a double page spread


here are some of the conclusions i have came up with..

Codes and Conventions of Magazine Double Page Spread

• All have a main image which is relevant to the article.

• Main text bigger than all text.

• Columns.
• Heading Long- Stands out.

• Simple colour scheme- colours keep to a minimum.
• One large picture which takes up to a whole page and sometimes bleeds between pages. (link the two pages together).

• Sometimes the picture is a cross the whole DPS with all text on the picture.

• Quotes are used sometimes in the title/headline on the picture stand first or to break up the text.
• The stand first introduces the article and is positioned at the begginning of the headline.

• Often includes the journalists name.

• First letter of the article is bigger to show you where to start reading.

• Other techniques for the same thing include bold text, slightly bigger type space, capitals at the start of the article.
• Sometimes uses stylized fonts.
• Headlines used to draw the reader in but don't tell them what the articles about thats done by stand first.
• Byline-who wrote the article, photographers credit.
• Laid out in 2-4 columns.
• Strap line at the top- what the article is about.
• The article is usually written infromally and the personality
• of the journalist come through.

looking at all the different style models i have been influenced by this
