My double page spread

For my double page spread I simply wanted the title of the article to be Kayyah’s name as she is so big as an artist that when people see her name they will instantly want to read. I made the title stand out by putting a black background behind it and using a brighter blue for Kayyah’s name than the other blues I used in the article.The introduction to my double page spread is in blue so that it stands out from the rest of the text and so the audience know that, that is my introduction.

Most double page spreads especially in indie magazines have the main image of their double page spread taking up one whole page and then have the text on the opposite page but to fit all my text on and to use up more room on my double page spread of other things, I decided to make the main image take up only half of one side. The picture I took of emily originally had the same background as the picture I took of Kayyah, so I decided to change the colour in photoshop, I wanted to go for something unique for a background so I went for green, although I’m hoping the audience won’t mistake it for a green screen. I am pleased with how I used the colours of my text by using blue to highlight key words. I used “I can be quite hard to understand” as the pull quote for 2 reasons. 1. The audience will see this and want to know what is so hard to understand about Kayyah and want to read on and 2. because I think my audience will find this quote very relatable. Lastly I added in the twitter bar at the far right hand side, so that Kayyah could answer her fans questions. A lot of magazines have this and fans will be pleased to see her answering questions.
