1. The title of the double page
spread is the name of person that
is going to be interviewed. I did
this because it tells the audience
clearly who this article is about
before they start reading the
interview. I believe that the red
and white text contrast quite well
with each other and the black
background. I tried to create a
theme throughout the double
page spread with the colours
because it’s a simplistic idea that
helps e audience travel through
the magazine with ease.
To create an identity for the magazine I came up with a small logo that
could be fit discretely onto any of the pages. To keep a link with the
front page I decided to place the three strings (Lines) through the title
of the page so that the logo could clearly displayed. This gave the
magazine a brand for the audience to look out for if they see this logo
then they would know that they are reading my magazine even if they
didn’t see the MEJO.
I thought to put in a brief
description of what the setting
was like for the interview. This is
to give the audience a image of
what is happening between the
interviewer and the interviewee. I
feel this is good because it allows
the reader to become immersed
into the interview and want to
keep reading and buy future
magazines due to how they were
captured by this article .
For an easier reading experience I set the interview questions in
columns and small paragraphs so that the reader can follow
what is going on and as a choice for which way they can read he
interview (Across or Down). To fit the colour scheme of red and
white, I set the questions as red to indicate that this is the most
important section to read before moving onto the white
sections. The interview takes up most of the page because it is
the most important part that people want to read.
I took an old quote from a famous musician and
used it to enhance my characters love for music.
This is so the audience can relate my musician’s
passion for music. Also the quote that is used links
to the interview quite well as most of the questions
that as asked relate to music in some form of a way.
The small design adds to the overall logo look as this can
also appear on each page until the end of the magazine.
This is a simple design t apply on any magazine because it
indicates that the exclusive content from the people we
interview. This is the first thing you will see before
reading the article because of the size I have made it.
This is an image of the artist in
an action like pose. I felt that
this served more of a purpose
as it tied in with the rest of the
magazine. I did not want to
the image to disrupt the way it
contrasted with the colour of
the text. So I made the main
subject black and white like
the artist image on the front
page. Together the text and
logo stood out but the size of
the character still made it the
main subject for the magazine.
I feel as though the image is
needed because it links all the
text together and helps the
reader to really visualise the
interview actually happening.
I keep a good consistent layout I
made the interview into columns,
so that the reader can follow one
easily from one question to the
other and comfortably read
through the magazine.
