double page spread (interview info)




In today's post I'm going to look at double spread page for 'Kerrang' magazine. I'm going to look at the informations that this interview contents and also how it was presented. From looking at this double page spread we can see that on the right we have a group shot of 'My Chemical Romans' and on the left we can columns with all of the information about the interview. On the left hand side we have a title in a form of a quote which have been used to summarise the whole interview. Throughout the whole interview we can see lots of quotes from members of the band. We can also see that main colours are white, black, blue, red and yellow. It makes the whole page stand out. On the bottom of the page we can also see information about their new single. We can also see that this is a 'part 1' of the interview and 'part 2' will be in the next issue. They are saying that 'if you want to know more, buy a next issue'. Furthermore, we can see a little box at the bottom of the picture in which we have all of the band members names. White text on the black background makes text visible. For the title, we can see that they have used the same font as on they have on their new album 'Danger Days', what also shows that the article is about this album. We can also see that they have used MCR's new logo right next to the tittle, which is also shown on the album.

Art Magazine Feedback

Feedback:

From the conversation that i had with my media teacher I found out that my magazine was looking professional. However, I could have thought more about my target audience as it was a college magazine, maybe my magazine was looking a bit too serious. Also the name of my magazine has already existed, so when i do my actual music magazine i should check carefully if the name of my magazine exists or not. We have also looked at the small things such as, the way that pictures have been cropped. I shouldn't have cropped the top of the head as it wasn't necessary. Also, the artwork that i have used in my magazine, i have to back up that its my own painting/drawing. There are also some mistakes with the layout that i have used, some of the writing could have been bigger/smaller. Also, the writing on my content page could have been more interesting, so it makes the reader wanna read it. Overall, I should have thought more about the layout that I have used, as I had some minor mistakes in case of text layout.
