Complete Double page spread for music magazine

This is my complete double page spread for my music magazine. In my opinion, the spread is vibrant, bold and the colors contrast well. Enabling the spread to stand out. Plus, the colour theme links to both a male and female audience. Which was my intentions when i designed my magazine. The main focus of the cover is the Image. This is because the colors used in the image are deeper than the colours used in the text, as well as the grey background. It is easily noticeable by the audience who the article is about because their name is in large uppercase font along the side of the page. Plus, it is positioned next to the image of the model. The captions used are persuasive as they catch the audiences attention and make therm want to read the article. The questions of the article are red which connects to the phrase down the side of the page, "exclusive interview". This shows that the questions are part of and linked to the interview. I have made the font of the responses/ article, small and basic, this is so the audience can read it easily as the magazine is targeted to mainly a teen audience.I have also included features such as the magazine website for more details and extra information about the audience such as "ranked as one of the UK's top artists". I included A large 'K' which is behind the article. This is because it connects to the name 'Karolina' and creates a positive affect on the magazine.

Photoshop tools used...

The colour chart tool allowed me to change the colour of the typography, so that the colors could contrast and bring out vibrancy on my double page spread.

The magnetic lasso tool enabled me to select around a round or curvy shape. For instance, my photograph of my model, i was able to select around the model without including the background.

The edit copy edit paste, again allowed me to copy the selected area of an image to my double page spread.

Finally, the opacity tool meant i was able to adjust the boldness of the capital 'K' behind the article. I adjusted it to 39% so that it was faded and the article can still be read. However, the 'K' can still be seen.
