Progress of Double Page Spread

Using Microsoft publisher, I created a double page spread, and chose to fill the whole left page with an image. I have noticed this is a common trend in double page spreads in music magazines. I split the right hand side of the page into three equal columns to be filled with the interview.

I chose to fill the background of the right hand page with a large 'K' (standing for Kasia) in a faded grey. I saw this style used in Q magazine and thought it looked effective, therefor used it for my magazine.

I have chosen the colour scheme of burnt orange and black (orange for the interviewers questions, and black for the interviewees answers). These colours match the main image, and make it clear to the reader who is who throughout the interview.

I've added in a drop quote to the centre of the middle column. This grabs the readers attention, and will interest them in to reading the rest of the article. I used the same font as the rest of the interview, and used black as Kasia's answers are in black.

I completed the rest of the interview to fill the three columns, and added a small advertisement at the end of the interview promoting Kasia's new single. I also changed the 'K' in the background to a darker shade of grey as I felt it stood out more.
