Using InDesign, the author created a double page spread for a music magazine by adding text in columns, a masthead, standfirst, pull quote, and background image on the second page. Colors were changed to attract the target audience, including a black background and bright colors. Design elements like a drop capital, credits, and differently colored fonts for questions and answers were also included to make the article clearer for readers.

1. Construction of the double page
spread for my music magazine
By Rosanna Todd

2. 1) Using InDesign I started to create my double page spread. I added
in the copy (text) into columns and edited the fonts. I also added a
masthead and a standfirst. On the second page I added a pull quote and
put the image in for the background so that it is an image led page.

3. 2) Next I changed the colours of the fonts to more suitable colours which
would attract the target audience. I also added in a black background so
ensured that the colours I used on top were bright so that they could still be
seen. I also added a drop capital at the start of the article as this is a convention
used in real media products. Furthermore, I added picture and word credits
and another separate image of the artist at the end of the article. I also used
different coloured fonts for the question and answer parts of the article so that
it is clearer for the target audience to read.
