Double page spread

Draft 1:

 

The picture looks good for the background as there is not too much going on, and links in with the title well. The artist looks like she is having fun and so creates a sense of informality with the reader. Also the coloured model stands out well against the black and white background.

The split between the music artist’s side of the picture and the writing makes the page look neat.

The font is too formal for this magazine.

The use of the columned writing makes it look more professional as most magazines use columns to write their articles.

The different coloured quote looks good, giving an insight in to the article, however, it isn’t bright enough to draw the reader’s attention, this needs to be bolder.

The caption underneath the title gives a brief description about the article, helping the reader to decide whether or not they want to read the article. The writing is not very visible against the black trees, it needs to be bolder.

The title quote of the album name, ‘snowfall’ lets fans recognise that it is about the artist’s new album.

Final:

The shortening of the title looks much better and fits in better with the article content.

The font change fits in much better with the style of the magazine.

The underneath the title caption is much clearer as it has been enlarged and made bolder.

The quote is much clearer as the spacing around it is bigger and it has been made bolder and larger.
