Here is the current progress of the double-page spread for my music magazine 'Mercury'.
My chosen image involves my artists formulating direct mode of address - looking directly at the audience. This is not a necessity for a double-page spread, however, I wanted to use this image to highlight that this is the main artist and that she is a very strong focus for this addition of my magazine.
The chosen text block at the top is in yellow to make it stand out, and thus, when readers pay attention to that section of the double-page spread, they'll hopefully understand that the message within the copy provided from the interview with my main artist.
Lastly, I needed to carry on the copy of my double-page spread onto an additional page due to the large amount I wrote. Yet I didn't want to remove any of the text, as I felt the whole copy wouldn't have made sense without it. Hence my choice of picture - I wanted to keep it simplistic to make the text easier for someone to read.
Great article. You need a shorter and more striking headline.
