FINAL 2 PAGE SREAD
This is my new and improved 2 page spread. I have made many changes, such as the font, borders on images, and added a lot more text. I have used both pages thoroughly by includes images on both, as well as enough text. This layout is highly influenced by many of Rolling Stones layouts in their magazines.
Article - 2 page spread
I have begun creating my 2 page spread, and this is the type of layout and structure I want to use. A lot of work has to be done to this to make it improve. So far, I have the beginning of my article and my opening quote, as well as the images I think work best. I have based my double page spread on similar ones to Rolling Stones, rather than using one, I have combined many conventions of each the double page spread layouts I have looked at so it's to it's best ability.

Front cover
I have created two front covers, both with the same conventions except different images. They are both very similar, but have different layouts. I'm not too sure which one will work best, I will have to decide.
Copy of article
This article was made up by me doing a lot of research into Lady Gaga. A lot of headline stories which we hear of Lady Gaga are addressed in my questions. Key quotes are used which I extracted from the internet. I feel that this article tells the reader Lady Gaga's life, and her struggles.
Contents page draft + front cover draft
These are the drafts of my music magazine contents and front cover pages. They are very simple, sophisticated and formal. Rolling stones aims to have a very simple looking front cover, with a striking image to catch the readers attention. I have chosen to use the same type of technique with one large image covering the whole of the page, with a few headlines.
I have used clear outlined boxes to show where text or images will be placed. These are just rough ideas, and I may improve the layout slightly when it comes to designing my actual front cover and contents page.
