Double page spread 4.

The colour scheme on this page has stuck to the original codes and conventions of magazines, only 3 colours are used as this makes the page look neat as the colours don’t contrast and make it hard to read, by using light yellow black and white they are all simple colours and are not too bright to put people off reading the articles. When I design my magazine I will make sure that I pick a good range of colours so that it is as eye pleasing for the audience as possible. Even though the usual codes and conventions used are to use three colours, I may use two in my own magazine.

The page is split up by half text half image with the image overlapping to the text side. This makes the page look good as there is not too much text over the page too put some readers off reading and although the rule of thirds is not used to make the page more eye pleasing the two columns make the page look very professional. Also within the image there is also text, this helps to promote the band with quotes from other people instead of the band to make sure that the band has the right level of praise instead of being pushed aside. I plan to use the rule of thirds within my magazine but I also plan to overlap my centre line to make my double page spread more image based instead of text. I will also have text on the image in small transparent shapes this is so that the image doesn’t cover too much of my page leaving out the text.

The page is very well presented as it looks as if it is faded, this may show the band as being older and washed out but by using the yellow it breaks through the old look at is coming back into the music world. I like this idea and I may use this in my magazine but with the representation of the band breaking through the norm and moving up in the music society.
