Drafting and planning

I have began to make some improvements on my double page spread.
This is the first version:
This is my final draft version:
It's safe to say that my double page spread has improved since my first attempt. I have changed the colour scheme and added in black and blue. I think the colours really compliment each other and show a consistency which links to the contents page. I have kept the same main image but made it much bigger and made it straight. I think this is better as it makes the artist seem a lot more dominant and prominent on the page. For the questions in the article, I have made the font burgundy just like before but used a highlighter over it to make it lime green. This connects to the main images and colour scheme on the front page and contents page. The answers in the article are in white font which it used nicely because black and white are binary opposites and this is attractive because there's a great contrast. I have used a quote over the artist picture and this quote is actually found inside the article. The quote will draw the reader in. At the bottom of the article I have added a little summary of all of the places where you can find out more about the artist. This gives my magazine a sense of professionalism because it shows that my magazine promotes their Twitter page and website. At the top of the article, the heading is in burgundy font and this is successful because it creates a link to the burgundy masthead my magazine has. I made sure I added page numbers because they are compulsory and a generic convention. I got rid of the secondary image as I decided it was not needed and draws the article away from SIAN. I am pleased with this version of my double page spread.
