Drafting and planning

I have finished my final draft for my double page spread:

I am happy with my DPS because the colour lime green has been used once again. This creates a connection with the front page and contents page and gives my artist a unique image. I've also kept the idea of burgundy, black and white going too. The article is based on SIAN revealing her plans for the tour as established in the heading. The heading does not give too much away but will still entice the target audience. I have once again wrote in columns which sticks to the typical convention of a magazine and this creates coherence. To distinguish between the questions and answers in the article, I have used a white highlighter to make the questions stand out. The questions I have asked my artist SIAN differ from 'is your tour from your album success?' to 'is there anyone you will miss in particular when you leave the UK?' which hints at a possible love life: a lot of magazines tend to do this. I have used a different picture of SIAN up against the wall which if inferred correctly suggests that she is reminiscing about the happiness of tour exclamation or perhaps daydreaming about the tour. The quote over the image is a rhetorical question which shows that SIAN is loving the fame. Even though some magazines spread their main image out over two pages on the DPS I think that the type of image I have of my main artist should cover one page as she still looks very dominant. I used a secondary image of S.O.D who is another female DJ - she is positioned where her name is featured in the article (she is SIAN's support act on the tour) this will give the target audience who do not know who she is an clearer insight. At the end of the article I thank SIAN and wish her luck on the tour and in the future and tell her that MOVE hope to catch up with her when she returns. In the burgundy circle which kind of acts as a pug because it gives the target audience the chance to win tickets to see SIAN live. I have ensured to include page numbers to give my magazine that sense of professionalism. 

Overall I am happy with my DPS but to improve I will use Amity Jack to link the masthead to the main subheadings in the article. I may also re-position the text over the main image to make it more eyecatching.
