Double Page Spread

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD DRAFT

This is my double page spread. I have tried to put as much as text as I could in the double page spread as this is my main page and the page that the reader will want to read the most. I have added a cool background that is effective and drags the readers attention but it unfortunately came out black and white, I can't seem to change this. Also, I've put the name of the band and the title of the page both close within each other, so it grabs the readers attention again.

                                  CONTENTS PAGE DRAFT

This is my Contents page for my music magazine draft. Although I haven't added a Twitter or Facebook link/account for others to interact, that will all come in the final magazine.

Also, I added in the bold headings in capital letters to have an effect on the reader, then the writing below it is in small writing so it doesn't grab the spotlight unlike the headings. Furthermore, I added the image at the top of the page and spreaded it as I thought that putting it anywhere else would be a bit original and I wanted to try something new. I numbered my pages on the contents page as well so the reader knows where to go straight away to see their preferred pages. I put my title 'Read All About It...' at the top of the page above the image so it's big, bold and can be seen. I don't want the main writing to be hidden away so the reader can't actually see it.

Finally, I added it an 'Editors' section of the contents page. This is something that other magazines do too, so I thought it would be a good idea. The Editor writes up about what will be inside the magazine to excite the reader before finally turning the page.
