• I have started with thepage’s heading.

• White font placed on ared background makesit rather eye catching

• I have once againapplied the ‘stroke’feature to border thepage number

• Magazine’s web address is shown below giving readers the chance to catch up with more exclusives on potential websites

• The intro into mydouble page spread’smain article

• And following the intro is theinterview with my artist.

• Question and answer structure

• Questions are in red and are in‘italics’ making them standout, also size of the font is ‘11’

• The artist’s responses arefollowed, and are in black, asto distinguish the questionsand answers.

• A single image of the artistis applied. Rather large,capturing the readersattention. I have used digitalmanipulation to have thepicture blended inseamlessly with thebackground

• Image description isgiven, I have emulatedwhat several iconicmusic magazines do intheir products.
