Finished Double Page Spread for my Music Magazine

For my double page spread I decided to use a landscape photo of the same girl from my front cover. However, this time she is playing the acoustic guitar. I decided to show her playing an instrument because I wanted to show the musical background within the magazine. The main photo I used looks like she is playing in a little studio room which suits the magazine very well as it is called unsigned and it wouldn't be right to picture her in a real expensive studio. I also decided to use another photo of the same girl however, this time make it smaller just to give another insight into her playing the guitar. I think the photo represents the age range very well because many kids of that age are musical talented and this shows that if you're dedicated to it that you can also succeed.

I decided to use white text to overlay on the photo as it stands out for the reader and is very easy to read. I put the singers name at the bottom right hand corner of the photo to show who she is, I also used the same font for her name like the front cover my magazine because I think it shows consistency. I did the same with the title of the magazine as I have put it on the double page spread at the top left hand corner I did this because it fills space and is also authentic. For the smaller photo I have put a little black border around it which looks like it has a zoomed in effect of her playing the guitar for the magazine.

I have put at the bottom left hand corner of the photo, who has written the story and who has taken the photo's because when I was researching magazines I saw that Rock Sound magazine had done this and I liked the way it looked so I thought I would use this technique for my magazine.

On the right hand side of the photo I have wrote some text which gives a story behind the photo, I decided to use white text on a black background as it stands out and looks professional. I used a very unique and unusual font for my text because I think it adds a modern effect to the magazine and the age range can relate to it. I believe the different fonts used makes the magazine not boring because if I had used the same font for all the text it can become boring reading that over and over again.
