This double page spread is the layout i have decided to pursue for my final idea as i believe the full image used as a background brings all the writing and imagery together.Also i like the simple but vibrant colour scheme which doesn't hinder the writing as it has a white background on the main.By having the entire one side of the double page spread being an image of the artist enables the audience subconsciously without words or just a few in terms of the band names implies the main frame and focus of the spread without it being cluttered and over bearing due to the bright colour scheme i will be using.
I then decided to use a very simple and straight to the point headline which used the reverse effect of the writing by making it simply black and then making its impact by using a bright background.
I then only used a few images of the band and event to enforce the headline and make the double page spread more interesting visually and i then used a simple border of block colour to distinguish the picture from the background making it stand out.
I kept the convention of the border across the top of the double page spread as a headline/quote from the text to entice the reader to read.
However i didn't keep with conventions in terms of a divide between images and text as i used an image as the entire background to the double page spread and put the text upon this.I believe this was more effective and made the double page spread flow and keep the readers interest.
I have decided this layout is the most appropriate layout for my magazine and it is in keeping with the genre i am pursuing (indie) and therefore will attract my target audience,why at the same time challenging conventions making the magazine different and unique and giving me more versatility to work with.
