Double Page Spread Article Plan

For my double page spread article, I have decided that I want to write an interview between myself and an artist (the lead singer) of the band 'Satin Bones'. I want this interview to be about the first full length album they have released, and the interview will be mainly the artist answering my questions, rather than me writing about the artist after interviewing as has been done in several magazine interviews I have researched.

Detailed Plans

On these plans, I have followed my original construction plans, but included the title, some text and cover lines, and a colour scheme.

I have chosen to have the title in green, as I thought black would not present the right image, whereas the green is lively and eyecatching. I achieved this using paint. I have included the barcode and a price of £2.20, which I found to be similar to the prices of other 'rock' magazines.

Title Fonts

Here I have looked at different fonts which I could use in my magazine for the title. I used the website 'Dafont' to find something I thought represented the style and genre of my magazine.

Colour Scheme Plans



Title Edit

Instead of calling my music magazine 'Charge', I think that it would be better if I called it 'Charged', as the word 'Charge' gives out too many connotations, such as suggesting 'charge' as in money, which I do not want being portrayed to my reader. I am a bit concerned that the word 'Charged' doesn't carry the punchy image that I was intending, so I am considering changing the spelling of the word to something such as 'Charg'd' to give it youthful and urban connotations.

Double Page Spread Plans

Here I have created a plan for my double page spread. I have decided to put the image at the bottom of the page so that I can have the article across two pages.

Contents Plans

Here I have created my music magazine contents page. I have included on the page an image, which will be of the artist from the front cover and the double page spread. I have also included a 'note from the editor' and an image of the editor, as well as the contents listed in one long column.
