Mark Ronson NME double page spread analysis

This is a double page spread by NME, as NME goes this a fairly unconventional double page spread. It has an overall simplistic look on the page. The minimalist retro colour scheme and costume ties in with the artist and retro vintage look. When styling my double page I will also take into consideration how I can realte it to the artist and the audience. The enlarged capitalised C signifies the beginning of the article and its a convention of majority of magazines. If I chose to use this convention I will however make the first letter slightly smaller the this 'C' as I think it is too big for the actually articles text size. A quote has also been shown on the page where the artist has made a comment that the journalist is presenting as a direct quote to give the audience the artists true opinion. I am definitely going to do this on my double page magazine as it is conventional and stands out breaking up the text.


First draft of contents page

This is my first draft of my content page on inDesign. I have not yet added any house colour theme to my contents page. My photo fits well with my page design but as I add colour i may need to rethink a few factors of the layout.
