1. Final double page spread:
I still kept a similar layout to the other drafts. I decided to duplicate the pull quote
and give it a 3D look; this was so that the text would be able to stand out from the
background. I also changed the slug altogether, my original slug was too simplistic
and faded in the background of the page. I decided to add a bit more colour to it and
make it a theme of colours I would use in another section of “Random Facts”. The
colours used gave a bit more energy to the page which was full of darker colours. I
chose the text n the slug to “New Sound” instead of “Music”, as music was too typical
and expected as this is a music magazine. New sounds allows the reader to know
what the double page spread s going to be about, which is exactly the purpose of a
slug. I decided to just change the colour of the questions and not highlight them with
a grey background anymore; I also thought that it would be better to increase the
editorial content was it was quite limited, so I added another 2 questions to the
interview. As there was an increase of editorial content I had to decrease the size of
the side bar to make more room for the text added. Then I left aligned all the text as
this made the presentation of the text look better and made it seem easier to read. I
changed the font of “Studio 64” when it was mentioned twice in the text and made it
into the same font of the masthead, this is good for continuity. I also decided to
change the font of “Random facts” on the side bar and gave it a 3D affect; this helped
it stand out from the other text present tin the side bar. I made the answers of
“Random Facts” more detailed to make it more appealing to the reader and changed
the colour of the questions to match the slug; I believe that this complimented each
other well on the double page spread.

2. Double page spread commentary:
For the double page spread again I kept the same colour scheme that I had for the
front cover and the table of contents I have kept pink, grey and white colours. I have
also included a black background which generally goes with very colours, as most
colours stand out with a black background. The black and white on each page show a
clear contrast and separates the A3 page into two, this is done with the use of the two
colours. There is also a contrast With “Tyrone” written in white on a black
background and “Lewis” written in black on a white background. The interview is
kept in a small black font on a white background which goes well with the typical
conventions of a magazine when it comes to interviews. I have chosen to highlight
the questions with a grey background to make them stand out of the page and the
other text underneath which are the answers. This shows a separation with the
questions and answers, which can be useful to the reader if they do not want to read a
dense editorial they can choose which questions they want to read an answer to and
therefore they will not have to read the entire article if they wish so.
I added a pull quote on the bottom left hand side of the page which isn’t an unusual
place to usually find a pull quote, however I added a box with a solid grey
background to make the quote stand out as I realised the writing in pink wasn’t very
visible with the background picture and I wanted to keep it in the pink colour to stay
with the same colour theme throughout.
I have added a side bar which takes about ¼ of the page on the right hand side.
Sidebars usually includes different editorial than the actual article on the same page
however I decided to keep with the same topic and add “Interesting Facts”. I wanted
to add a bit more information about the artist who the article was about and I felt
that the interview wasn’t enough which is why I included this sidebar. This has very
limited editorial content and is quick and easy to read, this relates to the types of
people I expect will be reading this article.

3. My original idea for my double page spread is to spit the page into two different
section, one side will be dominated by one picture and have a slug on the top left
hand side, with a pull quote at the bottom left hand side. The other page will also be
split into two sections. The half left section will have the interview, ad the right hand
side will be a side bar related to the same article saying “Interesting facts” On the top
right hand side where the side bar will be I will have more picture. As for the title of
“Tyrone Lewis”, “Tyrone” will be on the left page and “Lewis” will be on the right
page.
