Creating My Double Page Spread

Research and Planning: Images for my Double Page Spread

This will be the main image of the girlband.

This image will be made smaller and I will photoshop it to change the colour and make it more bold.

Mock Up of Double Page Spread

This is a mock up of my double-page spread. It will feature a large central image of a new girl band and a smaller image which will relate to a small interview. There will be a small puff in the top right hand corner which will feature a free advertisement advertising a sneak peak at a new single. The main article will be a written article resembling an interview style but with no interview headings. Finally, in order to maintain continuity I will use the same font styles and colours as I have done on my front cover and contents page. 

Focus Group Feedback: Contents Page

The focus group for my contents page feedback were three girls, aged between 16-18 which represents the chosen target audience for my magazine. My first question asked if I needed any more stories, one person said I could just make the font larger in order to fill the space; however, one said I could add a couple more to fill the space. My second question involved asking if my magazine showed continuity-they all replied yes as the masthead was the same as my front cover, as well as the colour scheme remaining the same. They also said that my images connoted a fun and party-like effect which represents the pop genre. Also I asked if my masthead was suitable; one person said it was clear to read as the letters were spaced out. Finally, they said that they thought the target audience were teenagers, around 13-17. However I had chosen my target audience to be between 16 and 22. This is something that I will need to change.

Research and Planning: Images for my Contents Page

 Image 1: I have chosen this image for my contents page as it connotes a youthful and exciting effect. It targets my chosen pop genre as the colours are young and vibrant and it also connotes a partying effect. The mise en scene is relatable to my audience as the facial expressions are happy and the clothing is fit for that age group.

 Image 2: I have chosen this image as it resembles an Andy Warhol effect which will fit in with my pop genre. It also shows a CD which is suitable for a music magazine.

Image 3: This image is of 'The Troublesome Tones' who are featured in my main story.
