1. Double Page Spread Evaluation
These are the columns that
are used to put text in; having
columns is a good way of
keeping everything looking
neat and professional.
Having a lot of text in a
magazine is necessary, leaving
blanks in the columns will look
bad and normally means the
article you are reading isn’t
very interesting, I have tried
to write as much as I can
about the band in my article.
Pictures are also a way to describe the vibe
that the article is trying to give off, its also
promotional, if someone doesn’t know about
a subject that is being talked about, a picture
is a good way to show them what’s going on.
However I didn’t put to many pictures in as I
didn’t want to fill up the whole page.
I put all of the pictures I used
along the outside of the page
layout, I didn’t want the text to
be overlapped by pictures, I
made it so it was easy to read
and keen on the eye with
pictures.
I kept the background plain
and black, this is good
because not to many colours
steer your eyes away, you can
also see the images better,
and black is a favoured colour
towards the target audience
I’m aiming for.
The different coloured text is
indicating that someone else
is speaking, also it means that
it is a question, I did this
because its easier to define
who is saying what
throughout the article then.
I kept the text plain and
simple, using the default font
as it is the easiest to read, I
didn’t use any italics or made
any of them bold, I did use the
colour red to highlight
important parts of the text
before you carried on reading
down the column.
