Double page spread preparation!
What type of double page spread do you intend to create?
My double page spread will be an interview with Amber (the person who I photographed for my music magazine.) She will be talking about being on tour, how she got signed and romance. The left side will be an original image of Amber, and the right side will be the interview in a question and answer format. This helps the audience to find out what the 'newest indie artist' is like, and it will give all her fans the gossip. As my magazine is aimed at teenage girls aged 14 to 19, I feel as if this will entertain them. Not forgetting my secondary audience, teenage boys also aged 14 to 19; who I also think will find this entertaining.
How you intend to incorporate original images?
I intend to incorporate original images by using a main image on the left hand side of my double page spread. The image will show Amber looking natural, and it will be a long shot so that you can see her whole body. This will give the audience a closer connection to Amber, because they will be able too see her style. (The clothes that she is wearing.)
How will you obtain information and images for your feature spread?
For images, I will take them myself of Amber. I only want too use one image for my double page spread, as I want most of the focus on the interview. For the information, I will use questions that are often used in magazines, I want them to be informal and chatty and I will write out the interview before I put it on to my double page spread to make sure that it sounds right.
Visual style?
The theme from the front cover and contents page will be consistent on the double page spread, with the use of the same colours and fonts; this helps it too look like a real magazine. The layout will be simple, and easy to read; I don't want my interview squished on to a page as the audience may find this hard to read. As it is aimed at younger people, it needs to include a variation of colour to keep them interested. Also indie magazines tend to have eye-catching interviews, this helps to keep the audience interested.
What style of writing you intend to use?
The writing style will tend to be informal and chatty because it is more entertaining. Formal interviews tend to be boring, and a lot of the time the audience members don't read the whole thing. I am writing informally because I want my audience to read the whole interview, and to be interested in Amber's music and lifestyle. It is also aimed at a teenage audience, therefore the words can't be formal or scientific as they may find such words hard to understand.

Music magazine, contents page: Finished!
Below is my finished contents page. After a lot of hard work and photoshop difficulties, I finally finished it. Overall, I am very happy with how it came out. It follows the same theme as the front cover, because I had to make sure it looked like the same magazine.

Contents page: Drafts, music magazine!
Below are different photos that I captured whilst designing my contents page.
<-- This shows the different colours I used to design my contents page, as you can see the colours match the front cover.
<-- These are the different layers I used to make sure every feature on the page was in the right place.
^ As you can see above there are still places on my contents page which are bare, the next draft will show you what I done to change that fault.
Draft 2:
This draft shows the contents page almost
finished. As you can see I filled the blank areas with more features, and I have chosen a different design to usual magazines.

Music Magazine: Contents page photography
I was originally just going to use the same model I used on my front cover for my contents page, but then I thought that it would have looked plain and simple. So I took my other friend Harriet to 'Pompey Alley' which is where I took photos of Amber for my double page spread. I then took two photos of Harriet which I want to put in the corner of my contents page to show that there are other stories in my magazine.
The two images I took of Harriet for my contents page:
Below is the photo of Amber that I am going to use for my contents page.
For this photo I plan to cut around Amber, getting rid of the background. I will then fit her in to the background of my contents page.
