2. To start I decided I’d stick to the white,
black and red colour scheme of front
cover and contents pages, as it suited
the look I was going for. I gave it a black
border to make it look more interesting
and made an outline for a banner for
the title, to make it all look bolder and
heavier.

4. Then I made the title for the article, in a
thick, heavy, black font. I made the
article name different to the name of the
band, for a bit of variety. I chose to put
the starting letter of each word in red to
make the page lighter and more
colourful and emphasize the alliteration.
Then on the black strips I put a subtitle for
the article, explaining what it’s about.

6. Then I added an article I wrote, laid out
like an interview, in two columns. This was
to make it seem as authentic as possible,
as this is how they often do real double
page spreads. I also gave credit to a
fiction interviewer, for the same reason.

8. Finally I added a photo of the band, with
some editing in Photoshop. I made it fit in
the borders laid out before by putting it
behind them and removing the white. I
put an explanation of the picture,
credited the photographer and put
page numbers in boxes, all to seem like a
real magazine.
