2. LAYOUT
The layout of magazine will use 4 columns to make the double
page spread look presentable and organised. The use of the
columns will illustrate how the picture will format on page and
the text shall take precedence on the other page.
Also the 4 columns allows both the picture
and text and headline to have an equal
balance that will look sophisticated and Headline
attract my audience with my style of and
simplicity of my double page spread.
Picture
Because the alignment of the text has to Pull out
be very precise I will use the baseline Text
quote
grid to help organise the text.
3. THE PRINCIPLE COMPONENTS
Headline : Has to be large and attractable towards my audience . I will continue relating to
my front cover by using my main cover line which is ‘Three rows of Progression’. Which Is
a simple phrase that will intrigue the minds of my audience.
Subhead: The byline represented in my double page spread will display a short summary
on the artist who I am interviewing and what the interview consists of. The byline will say:
‘We caught up with Gospel’s sweetheart Ms Rene who is new on the scene and is
breaking heats with her voice’.
Drop cap : The most common component that is used in a double page spread is
the drop cap and to follow conventions I will use the drop cap to signal to the reader
where to start reading the interview from.
Pull out quote: Is another important component that is used in the
illustration of a double page spread. The pull out quote in my double
page spread allows the reader to catch insight into the important
phrases and words that the interviewee has mentioned in the interview.
4. THE IMAGES AND THE EFFECT
The main image which will be used is shown on the
left.
The image relates to the audience as it shows a
range of youth in the gospel and how they act . This
can relate to the younger generation because
through they can perceive where they would stand
in the gospel.
Also the main model in the image demonstrates not
only how she worships but she represents the niche
group of youth that are interested in the gospel.
Continuing to create that connection between the
reader and the model. The other youth in the
background display how they interact with the
Gospel.
5. THE STORY AND THE EFFECT
The story is based upon the main cover line in the
font cover which is
•This is the main story because it relates to the main image of the model singing the Gospel, also
the main model in the image is also a new famous Gospel artist called Rene singing with other
youth.
•The presentation of the story will be an interview. My target audience will be more attracted to
the interview because she is doing so well in the industry and becoming increasingly popular so
the interview will allow the readers to capture the an insight into her music as well as her life.
•The headline is important because the Gospel artist also refers to how she got the stage she
wants to be.
•In the interview she not only address how she embarked on three stages in her profession but
her life in general which will influence my audience greatly as they also get an insight into her life
but advice.
6. COLOUR SCHEME AND FONT
•The colour that has been chosen is red, black and grey.
•I have chosen Black for the writing because it simple and classic
and also helps the use of the red for the pull out quotes to stand out
more.
•I have chosen Red because of the pull quotes because they will
attract the reader because it’s boldness.
•The grey relates to the use of headline. In the headline the part that
will be in grey is : ‘ THE THREE ROWS OF’.
•The headline: The first part of the headline is in grey because it’s
shown is different shades of grey to make the words compliment each
other as the colours do. Then the word ‘progression’ will be in red to
increase the attraction and to highlight the basis of the story is on
progression.
•There will two different fonts. The first font will be used for the
subhead and the second font will be used for the main text to
separate the interview and the information based on the artist.
