6. In my magazine that I am going to create, I intend to imitate some
aspects of the magazine The Fly. I will use 3 or 4 main colours on the
front cover and use the same 3 or 4 colours on the page that the
interview is on like they have. I am also going to have a quote that will
stand out in the interview and might have a third of the bottom of the
double page spread as a cover and maybe a chronology order of
what the artist has done since they started performing. I might also
make the date of the magazine on the contents page big to stand out
and have the image tinted to a colour that I have used on my cover
page. Also, on the contents page, they have made the artist not make
eye contact which is what I may do. On the front cover, the band has
been taken at a far away shot so you can see their bodies and how
they are standing which I think makes the magazine look good and I
may use it on my cover too.
