Double Page Spread Final

Double Page Spread Final

This is my final double page spread for my magazine.  As you can tell the page is completely different to my rough cut design.  To make this double page spread better i added in a number of features that had been on style models i researched.  I previously said in a blog that i wasn't going to add in any features on the left hand side of the page because the style model i looked at didn't use any, however i decided to add features because i thought that the page looked boring with just the image of the artist, so i decided to challenge this idea and add features.

Points I used to make this design better for the final cut:

• Added in a breakout box between the article.  This feature was used in every single double page spread article that i looked in to.  I added this in for the audience who don't want to read the full article so they get a small idea of the article by reading the breakout box.
• Added in a different colour font to symbolize the interviewer asking a question, this is so that the audience could tell easily that this was a interviewers question.
• Added in the writers and photographers names, this was used on every double page spread i looked at so it is conventional.
• Made the page numbers in triangles half way up the page.  This challenges normal page numbers in the bottom corners of pages, this makes my magazine more personal by having different conventions.

Overall i think that my final cut is way better than my rough cut mainly because this image that i used makes it easy for the audience to read the font.  Also after looking at certain style models this is the sort of image (studio image) that is used by these models.
