First and second draft of my double page spread

First draft

My first draft is just an outline of how I would like my double page spread to be set out. As you can see from the draft, I would like the main image to be placed to the left of the A3 paper, and for the text to be on the right side of the page, so that I would have a lot of space for the writing of the article. Also, I said that I would place the title/quote on the top of the page, and I would like it to be positioned diagonally. I would like the font of it to be large (size 120) and for it to be red, this is so that it stands out and looks engaging.

Second draft

From looking at my second draft, you can see that I kept what I said from the first draft, by keeping one side for my writing and the other of the main image. Also, you can see that it is set out like a real magazine double page spread, as it has a bold eye catchy title (the bands name), a quote from the band and a good introduction to what the text is about. This is important, because if the text isn’t clear or bold, it may not be attractive to the reader and may put people off reading it. However, I can see by looking at it that there are areas that I can improve it for my final design. For example, above the main image there is a big blank space, that I put in extra text in, when I have more time for my final one, I would either use that space for a graphic design or add more writing.

Second draft

FeedbackKaren's feed back for my second draft:I think that the second draft is constructed really well, as its set out like the music magazines that read, so it basically looks professional. However, I think your final copy you should like you said fill up he space above the main image, as it makes the double page spread look empty. Also, I think that the quote you added is good, but to make it look more interesting, you should change the font as you already choose good fonts for all the other texts, and the quote one looks plain.
