Double Page Spread Draft

For my double page spread draft I tried to reflect the research I did when analysing 5 double page spreads for alternative music magazines. The main thing I noticed is that usually one side of the spread is covered with an image with only a headline and a brief summary of what to expect within this article. So, for my magazine draft I have also done this as this appears to work well for other brands.

For this double page spread I will be writing an interview with an artist who will be featured on my front cover, 'ruby'. The questions I will ask will be about her career and life, what most readers would want to know. However, I have also included the feature 'Quirky Question Corner'. This section of the page will include a series of quick fired questions about the most random of things; for example, their favourite body part etc.

The large image on the left hand side of the double page spread will be an eye catching, strong, statement picture. As this will be its only image it has to be vibrant with colours and striking to catch the eye of the readers so they will want to read the spread. 

Throughout this double page spread I have tried to keep it basic and to not clutter it too much. I want to get straight to the point of the article/interview so the readers get exactly what they are looking for.
