Construction - Final Double Page Spread

I have not made many changes to this page other than changing the contrast on the photo. I think this matches the colour scheme a lot better. I also think adding in the plug line onto the image helped spread out additional text instead of it all being bunched on the right hand side. I did not want to add any text above the text "Nerve Exclusive" because I didn't want the page to look cluttered. Overall, I am pleased with the outcome of this page. and think it matches the other two pages.

Construction -Third Draft of Double Page Spread

This is my third draft of my double page spread. Out of the three pages I have been working on this is the page I think needs to the most focus when working on my final draft. I like the layout but feel like something is missing from the page. I think I have made good use of the space and think this new image suits the house style a lot better however I might brighten the background and add some more blue tones so it matches with the blue on the right side of the page.

Construction - Second Draft of Double Page Spread

I think the interview on this page is realistic and is will be appealing to my target audience. The colour scheme is also matching with the front cover and contents page adding to the consistency of the house style. I want to change the image on the left hand side though because I don't think it stand out enough. I also want to add something into the top left hand corner.

Audience Feedback -
I love the right hand side of the page and think the colour scheme really works. I like the positioning of the text on the left hand side however I don't think that the image works with the colour scheme. I like the concept of having that striking image taking up the whole page but think that colours are too dull and don't really match with the house style of the rest of the magazine.

Construction - First Draft of Double Page Spread

First Drafts of Double Page Spreads


This first draft is very basic and I am yet to insert the text for the interview however I really like this as a layout. I think it suits the genre of my magazine and is quite unique compared to other music magazines out there. Obviously the photo needs to be changed and the text can definitely be improved but so far I think this is a good starting point.

Above is a more ideal draft of how I want my double page spread to be layed out, I will need to take and edit a photo that fits a similar style to the photo above.

The photo in this draft is one I will definitely not be using I just used it as a template to see how the text would fit together.

Audience Feedback - I really like the style of this page, I think it is unique and matches with the house styles of the previous pages, the front cover in particular. I also like the boldness of the image and think having it take up one whole page is a good idea (I like the style of the first image).I think that the "nerve exclusive" text needs to be adjusted slightly. Maybe try to fill a bit more of the space up in the left hand corner as it looks a bit bare, perhaps adding a web or Facebook page for advertisement. :)
