Work in progress: Double Page Spread

Before i began creating my double page spread, i had already made a plan of where i wanted the features to go. I have decided to have the image of the band at focus on the left hand side, and the text of the article on the right. My masthead is placed at the top of the right hand page, as when doing my research, i noticed that a lot of magazines relating to my music genre also use this positioning. The bands name within my masthead is in bold, capitilized, and also includes a serif. This enables it to catch the target audiences eye. The caption of the masthead 'taking over the uk by storm' is in a 'scrawly' yellow font; the yellow and sharpness connoting lightning (in referance to storm). 

I decided to split my text up into three columns; the text being boxed. As the subject of the article is a new band coming to the UK, i decided to use the colours red, white and blue within the text; representing the United Kingdom flag. I have decided to use a drop capital to begin my article as many double page spreads i researched also used one to signify the bginning of the text. Within the article, i have also included pull quotes; standing out in a bright yellow, to attract the reader and engage them with the article. As this is a work in progress, the image is still needed which i shall collect prior to Fridays lesson.
