Final complete version of the double spread page.


-since my previous update I have improved the double page spread by deleting the excessive amount of quotes on the page to make the page appear less cluttered and more professional. I have also ensured that the font style and sizes of the quotes are different to the previous ones ass the previous ones I had were not very aesthetically pleasing and ruined the whole house style of the page as it degraded it.
-I chose to use the font colour red and a black background to show the audience the importance of the presence of the quotes hence, the large bold font sizes they appear in..
- To enhance the quality of the construction of the page further , I rearranged the positioning of the articles in columns to help make the contents on the page look sharp and presentable to the audience.

Almost complete version of the double page spread.



Although this update looks complete, from the feedback I had from my target audience, and other people, I noticed that the quotes on the page were too many and looked cluttered making the page look un professional. For this reason on my next update I will reduce the amount of quotes on the page as  I believe that it will be less distracting for the reader and they will focus on the article rather than the quote. The font style of the quotes will be also changed into a bolder  font style which will make it more aesthetically pleasing to the eye as they will be able to easily read it. The main image on the page does not look professional as the image appears to be  "stretched out" making the image be of  a poor quality. For tis reason on my next update I will make sure that I re-take a photograph of the model/artist in the same costume and posing in the same position, with the aim of improving the quality of the image.

Almost completing the double page.

-I have included quotes said by the artist, to make the audience understand what the article will be based on, immediately after opening up to this page.

-I intentionally used a contrasting font-style compared to the font style of the article because I want the audience/reader to realise the importance of the quotes as the quotes  give the effect of being directly in contact with the artist.

-Since I have made sure to include all the  important features this double page should have, which include: an article, an image of the artist, the name of the artist,quotes said by the artist, the date of the page's publication, indication of where the reader can find out more information i.e. website of the magazine. I will simply indicate who the photographer and  editor of the page is on the page, as I aiming to make the page look as professional as possible so I will make sure I include all the necessary features/conventions this page require.

In the process of enhancing the double page.

-I am working on making  the font size of the article the same and small , with the intention of achieving a more  professional layout of the page.
-I have chosen red and black to be the font colour of the article because, not only do they compliment each other, but they clearly stand out of the background making reading the article easier to read, especially for an individual with a bad eyesight.
-The font style; "verneda" was chosen to be the font style for the article  because it is simple to read therefore the reader will not have any problems whilst reading it.

recent update on the double page spread


-I have just completed writing the articles for the  page.
-To improve this page I will ensure that I show that  the font sizes are all the same  and all in the   same font style.
-since the  page looks empty aside  the presence of the  articles, I will include  some quotes said by the artist, to make the reader feel connected to the artist whilst  reading the article because they will be getting direct opinions from the artist.
-The font style of the quotes will also be different to the other font styles used in order to indicate the importance of their presence to the reader.

double page in progress


-Since my previous update I have included the name of the artist, an image of the artist, and I have also written the first paragraph for the articles, a swell as indicated all the title; which are in question form , in a different font colour as the passage it.
-In my next upload, I will make sure that I change the font style of the artist's name, because it does not look very appropriate for the organisation of the page as not only is it larger  than the main image on the page, it is simply not aesthetically pleasing to the eye according to my target audience who I questioned for their opinions of the font style.
-The size of the main image is rather too small for the page, so I will replace this image with a larger sized image of the same artist, in the same clothing and posing position.
-I will also seek to complete the article on this page in my next update.
