For my magazine double page spread i decided to have a different colour scheme from the previous pages as i felt that it would improve the style of the page as the colours are much brighter than the other pages. I did this because i felt that generally the music genre that a DJ relates to is genrally followed by bright colours. For example in the magazine Kerrang the magzine genrally has a darker colour scheme as the type of music is rock music. However in the magazine Q the colour scheme is much brighter as the magazine promotes the genre of music of pop, R&B and Dance music and that is why i felt i needed to change the colour scheme.
On the left hand page the image is medium longshot of the artist in the centre of the page and behind him is a green background. The green background was used in this shot with less light at the bottom and top halfs of the page. I did this to create contrast in the background to make the page look more attractive to the audience.
To the left of the image there is text going uo the page and across the top right hand side of the left page. This was done to maximize the space on the page and keep the majority of the space on the page reserved for the image also it was done to stop the text overlapping the image. I decided that i would use the font of Youngsook BTN. I decided to use this font because i had already used it in other parts of my contents page and thus gave it good contiunity with the rest of the magazine. The text on the left hand side of the page is orange because it gives a good contrast against the green background of the image. The text at the top of the page is in the font of Zolano Sans BTN. This a new font within my magazine. I decided to change the font at this section because the type of music being propmoted is a modern music and the font goes along with this as it is a modern style of font. The font is red because it gives a good cotrast with the green background while at the same time increasing the amount of colours on the page making it more attractive to the audience. It is in a position to the top right of the page as i have decided to continue the title of the page onto teh opposite page on the other side. This was done because i wished to assciate the image with the article to the right of the image on the right hand page. As the text moves across the page i made it larger. I did this to build up to the title of the artist which would be the largest on the page so to attract the attention of the reader. In the masthead the words DJ are a different colour than the rest of the page. I did this to create more colour on the page and also to attract the readers attention. The font also changes at this point to become Tw Cen MT which is a much clearer font than the previous page. Again done to attract the readers attention. The title is also underlined as it is of importance to the page as that is what the article below is about. The subtitles in the article are done in scarlet. This is to enable the reader to easily ditinguish the questions from the answers which are in a black font colour. The questions are in the font of Youngsook BTN in continuation with the font title on th eimage page wheras the answers are in the font off Prisoner SF which means that the two can easily be distinguished.
The text is split up into two blocks on the page which helps the viewing of the page as it makes it look like there is not as much text. Whereas if the whole page fiolled with lines and lines of text it would not be clear and difficult to read compared to a text block format. The colour of the text contrasts with the yellow background well allowing for an easy to read article with no clashing colours.
I also decided to add small detail to the page to make the page look more intersesting. I decided that i would use the same effect of the paint stamp of the row of people at the bottom of the people as i had done in other sections of my magazine. Also i decided that i would use the paint stamp effect of shapes to create white squares in the background. They do not clash with the text and so are a good insertion into the page.
