Mock Version Of Double Page Spread


This was my draft double page spread for my magazine. I designed it so it is simple and easy to read therefore the audience can read the important information easily and simply. Firstly i put the title at the top of the page so the audience new what the page was about from the start; this avoiding confusion and made it easier for them to understand. I also made it stand out more then anything else on the page to make them look at that first so again they new what the page was about; i followed the typical use of titles on this page as i wanted to make it look as professional as possible therefore followed the crowd with this part of the magazine. With the background again i wanted it to show the emotion of the interview in pictures and not in a background colour that is why i kept the background just 1 big imagine on each page which was turned into black and white to give it that emotional, sad aspect to the pages. The left picture on these pages had no emotion in his face; this was purposely done to show again that he is not happy and sad about what is going on in his life. The right picture shows the audience that he is trying to hide his emotions from people due to him being famous etc but now as he has only 1 hand over his face he is letting some emotion out with telling the audience what is happening but still is not letting completely all his emotion out; very cleaver picture when you look at it in the view i have just explained. Finally the writting colour use on this page i chose to make it simple to define the difference between the interviewer and the famous 'grim' therefore i choice black for the interviewer; i choice this colour for him as it is a very common colour used and as he is the least important person on this page i wanted to give him a dull and simple colour and give 'grim' a bright colour which stands out. I choice red for the colour writting which 'grim' answers will be in as like i have said above i wanted the audience to see a different between his writting and the interviews therefore as colour writting stands out more it shows that his writting is more important overall then the other bit of writting. Also this kept to the theme of the magazine all the way through as these colours were used on the rest of the pages therefore making it more professional with a house theme all the way through 

1 bad factor i did not like about my draft was that there was too much writting on it and it looked quite boring and too simple; this is bad because it may put some audience members of reading it due to the amount of text which is on the page, it needs to have less text. When i got feedback about this as well my target audience agreed with me therefore when i make the final i will insert less writting and make it look less boring. This was the only bad factor i had about my double page spread draft therefore i am very happy with the draft i have completed.
