Final double page spread


This is my finalised double page spread, this has gone very well in my opinion. This is as I stuck to my original draft and felt that I didn't need to change anything from my draft as I felt that this works well and no drastic changes to the layout needed to be made. My main image covers up the whole of the left hand side of the page, this is as he is iconic and will attract the audience to read the interview, this also follows the forms and conventions of real music magazines as this is a common place for them to placed. He is slightly angled towards the writing to further highlight that the interview is about him, the mise en scene is also relevant to the grime scene as he has a puffy coat on and a man bag on, this symbolises grime as it is a common things for people who listen to grime and grime artists themselves to wear, he also has his hood up which furthers his image as a grime artist as this also contributes to his 'chavy' image. The masthead I used is in a bold font to make it stand out, this is because when I tried a non bold font I believed that it didn't stand out enough. The font I used also goes against the grime image as it doesn't really have a grime look to it, but I felt that this was needed as the others I tried didn't stand out and look appealing to the audience. The colour of my masthead is the same as the man bag, this is so I have an appropriate colour scheme, it also stands out well against the white background. The quote I decided to use is also in the same font as my masthead, this is because this font stands out well and I didn't want to use too many different fonts as it can be too overwhelming and ruin the look of it. The quote is an indicator into what the interview is about and kind of like a cliff hanger into persuading the audience into wanting the see what the interview is about and what he is speaking about. Whilst the colour being black which obviously goes well with my colour scheme. I have split up the text into two separate columns, this is so it didn't seem like much writing and the audience would be more likely to read it as it doesn't look like a big chunk of text. I also applied a kind of 'Q&A' type style to it to give it a simple structure that it is easy for the audience to understand, this also will make it more likely for the grime audience to read it as they are stereotyped to be quite uneducated so I adapted my double page spread to suit their ideology, like when using slang words like 'yute' so that it is a realistic grime artist interview and can be easily understood by the audience.
