Explanation of My Double Page

Spread

Music Magazine

Masthead – The masthead for this page is

the name of the artist being interviewed. It

gives a clear understanding to the reader so

they know what to expect. The typography

and colour used for her name connotes

sophistication and the green had

connotations of the earth and nature.

Introduction With

Drop Cap – The small

introduction sets the

scene for the readers so

they know in what

circumstances the

interview took place. The

drop cap indicates to the

readers that this is the

beginning of the

interview and they

haven't missed anything

yet of previous pages.

Question & Answer

Format – The Q&A

format is a very easy for

mat to follow in terms of

thinking about what is the

easiest for my audience,

it just seems more

convenient. The fact that

the question asked by the

interviewer in is a

different colour to the

answer of Cora Bell

makes it very clear to the

readers what was asked

of her and how she

answered.

Page Number and

Issue Number

Subscription Web Address

– Allows the reader to access

this interview and more

online.

Pull Quote – I chose

to make the

typography of the pull

quote white because it

has connotations of

purity, innocence and

freshness. The idea

Centre of Visual

Interest (CVI) – I

tried to used a range of

different camera shots

when it came to

picking images

throughout the task but

in particular with the

double page spread. I

picked a medium long

shot. I feel that when

taking into

consideration the

whole of the mise-en-

scene (posture, dress,

hair, make up,

background…) that

she represents the

genre of music that I

was aiming to get

across very well –

pop/indie.

Negative Space – This is usually

left to allow the double page spread

to look less over crowded and

makes it look more professional

and sophisticated, it adheres to the

saying ‘less is more’.

behind the different sizes in font was that I thought

if certain words were in a bigger font then it was

equivalent to putting more emphasis on the word.

This meant that not only was it pleasing to the eye

but also subconsciously urging readers to read on

to know what she is referring to.
