5. 2nd Draft
• I really want the picture to cover the whole of the page, but leaving
two little white boarders on the sides. But I can’t see the text, due
to the background, therefore I have added a white box to make the
body text readable
6. 3rd Draft
• I had to leave the idea of having both pictures cover the page, and so I have cropped the pictures
and put them to one side, which is the conventional layout of a double page spread
• Therefore, I have added the text on the white space, so it can be readable
7. 4th Draft
• I have gone back to using two separate images, and I have just changed the opacity of the boxes of text so the
pages do not seem too crowded. The reason I have done this is because Draft 3’s layout is very simple, that this
might not be eye-catching for my target audience, as they are usually drawn to unique and colourful designs
• I have used the effect “difference” on the headlines, because I could not find a colour that matched the different
colours in the background, but this effect creates vibrant colours, which are suited to my target audience
8. Feedback on Draft 4
• Everything is much more colourful, and eye-
catching
• However, I do think that I haven’t followed the
conventional style of a double page
spread, and it does not look as professional as
it could be.
11. Layout
I have used to separate images of the two separate images of the musicians that I am featuring,
because I wanted to capture their individual personalities to be able to show my readers what they are
truly like, as this is what they want to know.
I then added their separate pull quotes to each of the pictures, but just fro aesthetic purposes, I have
put a pull quote at the bottom, whilst the other pull quote is at the top
Pull Quotes
The pull quote I have chosen will be taken from the 1st double page spread’s article. And I will use a quote
from the article that stands out, and represents what the musician is like as a person or what the musician
wants the readers to know, so that there is a personal connection with the readers. Therefore, capturing my
target audiences attentions
12. Draft 2
• Even though my target audience chose a differet picture, I wanted to try and see
what it would be like if I used two separate images. And instead of using a long-
shot like my first draft I have instead used a close-up and a medium close up,
because I havent used those angles in my pictures yet.
13. Draft 3
• I have chosen instead to use a single image with a two shot, instead of having two separate
images. I have kept the close-ups because I wanted to capture my musicians having fun, and
looking at the camera, so that the readers would feel they are more connected to the
musicians. This will occur more when they read the pull quotes, which is made to look like
the musicians are directly speaking to the readers.
