This is the new design of my Volume music magazine double page spread.

 



For the new design of my double page spread I have kept the colour scheme the same as the front cover and contetnts page e.g. red, white and black. I have kept the name of the band in the same font style as the masthead and like the contents page I have put the masthead 'Volume' in the top right corner in a small box.

 

With my last layout of this page I had two images, one that was located underneath the main interview text and the other was horizontaly laid out on the other page. Now I have more up to date pictures and have decided to use one image that goes accross both pages but I have used the order aligment tool to send it to the back of every other content on the page so that is does not cover anything, this is an effective and useful technique becuase it will not cover any text but the image still stands out compared to anything else on the page.

 

The background is now a full white background and due to this I have kept the text about the interview on the left hand side of the double page spread as black, this makes the text stand out alot more on the white background, however becuase I have now put an image going straight accross both pages, it is hard to have the text to not overlap the image so I have used the transparent tool to make the image more faded.

 

On the right hand page I have had it so the band are answering questions rather than having the whole double page spread as information. This is useful becuase it would keep a customer entertained becuase it is different and not the same for the whole topic on 'The Makers'. This is also used in professional magazines becuase it makes the reader, who is likely to be a fan of the band, feel like they are connecting to the band more because they are seeing what the band have specifically said themselves, making my magazine seem very professional.

I have highlighted the questions in red and kept the bands answers in black becuase these are two of the colours from my colour scheme and it makes them match the magazine.
