The document discusses the layout and design choices for a double page magazine spread. It was inspired by conventions from other magazines, including using a large central image, divider lines, and faded letters. Feedback confirmed the spread fit the target audience of teenagers and had a pop theme. The same fonts were used for consistency, and colors were chosen to reflect the artist's favorite purple. Text was proofread to avoid errors. The illustration and quote were carefully selected to relate to each other through mise-en-scene.

1. Construction & Development
- Double page spread.

2. Understanding Conventions.
• The page layout I have chosen was inspired by various magazines. I chose all of
my favourite aspects about them and incorporated them in my work and
made them my own. There are 3 main aspects of my layout that was inspired
by other magazines such as vibe and Q. My main picture fills one side of the
pages this was inspired by another magazine. I made it my own by putting a
black outline around it with a thinner white line inside the black. This makes
the image stand out more. The three lines on the right was also inspired by
another magazine, vibe, in which there’s was right across the page where as
mine is only on half. They work really well as it creates a divide between the
artist name and the information/interview. The last thing that was inspired by
standard conventions of another magazine is the faded L’s behind the writing. I
made this my own by fading them by reducing the opacity and using two to
represent the artists name. I also included the quote in the middle of the
information, this was influenced by standard conventions. All of these aspects
make my layout work as it is clear where everything is and there’s a clear
divide between each section.

3. Understanding Conventions.
• The style of my double page spread is like the theme through my
magazine following the pop/teenage look. This is defiantly reflected
through my double page spread as it is calm and sophisticated. My artist
and the pictures make it look more pop themed and the subject is of the
age of my target audience. After carrying out feedback, it was evident that
the majority of people thought it was a pop magazine and concluded that
it would not fit the rock genre.

5. Awareness of need for variety in fonts
• Style; The style of writing on my double page spread was duplicated from my
front cover as the artists name is written in the same style, using Ancestory SF.
It is a girly style which compliments my pictures. I chose this style as I was
inspired by another magazine and it works extremely well on my double page
spread supporting my quotes and main picture. The style of my letters behind
the information, the information itself and quotes are the same font, Trajan
Pro. I used this style a lot as it was bold and worked well.
• Size; the size of my artists name had to be big to fit the flower picture in the
background and because of the style of writing it made it smaller therefore it
is approximately 250. My information and interview font had to be rather
small to fit it all in but, big enough to read therefore it is around 12.
• Colour; For my double page spread I used purple and black, this is due to my
fact file of my artist which states there favourite colour was purple and I
wanted to reflect this through my font and pictures. The questions asked are
in purple and the rest of the writing being black. I have used the colour white
for the page number and magazine title as it is this way on my contents page.
Same font Questions:
(Ancestory SF) purple, answers, black
both font size 12.

6. Accurate use of language
• As there was large quantity of information included on
this page. I decided to type it up on word, to prevent
and spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. In my
construction and development, I analysed which
question would be appropriate to ask and include and
what would interest my readers. I gathered feedback
on my questions from my target audience and they felt
it was appropriate and they would be interested to
read it. I also videoed my interview to watch it back
and listen to it then I could decide what to include and
show it to other people and get there feedback.

7. Appropriate integration of illustration
and text
• Mise en scene is essential on the
double page spread. It was
important to relate your image to
the quotes used. I think I have
successfully interrogated my
image with the main quote as
what the quote says is reflected
through the subjects facial
expression and body language. To
ensure I did this to the best of my
ability, I did a piece of work on
mise en scene in which I analysed
it and took guidance form it.
This image reflects the subject being
shy but wanting to be seen for her
music.
