First draft of my magazine double page spread

This is the first draft I have created for my double page spread. I created the page using a fairly basic colour scheme as it will be easy on the audiences eyes and make the actual article easy to read. I also believe this colour scheme makes the page look professional and white mature looking.

Layout

I have chose a fairly conventional layout for my double page spread as I believe this will make the article easy to understand and navigate round.  Using a full single page for the main image and another for the article. The layout I used on this page is very similar to that on the initial flat plan.I included a section at the bottom right corner of the page to include the magazines online website and social network sites which will involve the audience more with the magazine. I also allocated a section at the bottom left of the spread to place a promotion poster for the artists new album which I believe will make this page look unique and original.

Text

I used easy to read fonts making it easy for my audience to understand the article. I chose to make the more important text larger and in different fonts to connote its importance and to stand out to the reader in different ways, such as the. The language I used in the article was fairly simple and based at a lower lever so that it would be easy for my target audience to read. Within the text I chose to right about a topic that I believe the target audience would be interested in (the new break out artist Kai) as if the article wasn't interesting the audience would not want  to read it and effectively not want to buy the magazine.

Images

I only used two images on this double page spread and them both being located on the same page. I chose to use a large main image with the subject looking directly into the camera lens therefore looking and making a connection with the audience, I chose to do this as I believe this will attract the audience to the page and to the article. I also used an image of the artists new album as this will back up the text and give the audience a better idea of what is being talked about with a physical visual.
