2. I choose the bright pink colour for the background of the article because with it
being a pop music magazine I wanted to use a variety of colours. I also think that
it stands out and would look really good in an actual pop magazine and it’s also
part of my colour scheme which fits in well.
3. I have put in the article text over both the pages of the double page spread. I
have also added a heading which is just saying who the interviews are with. On
the Quark express I have used a drop capital to stand out and have used
different colours for the interview questions and then the answers that the fans
have gave me.
4. Here I have added the image of Katy Perry which I took at her latest tour
‘California Dreams’. I have cropped the photo on Photoshop to cut out the sides of
the actual image where it was just stage lightning however it was really dark to
include in the article and it fits nicely.
5. Next I added the image of Rihanna which I also took at her latest tour ‘LOUD’. I
thought it was a good idea to use an image like Katy Perry’s where both singers are
singing into the microphone with the other hand in the air. I also cropped the backing
dancers out of this photo so that we can just see Rihanna. It works well because the
artists look as though they are standing towards each other.
6. Finally, I added the main title of the article and made it stand out by using a
white colour to match the white coloured interview questions to the fans. I think
this also works well because it really stands out if you was to flick through the
magazine.
7. I have further edited the article so that it fits better so I have extended the stand first
so that it all fits on one line and also links the two photos together which I think works
really well. I have also added the magazine title and page number in both bottom
corners of the double page spread.
