About my double page spread

My Double Page Spread

My double page spread is on nicki minaj because she is really big at the moment. The audience of my magazine is woman ages 18+, nicki minaj is popular with this audience right now so making a double page spread on her is good and fresh.

I used a magazine article page to help me get started; it had the persons name in a colour and big font. So I put her name in a big font to show straight away who it is and put it in pink to contrast with her hair in the picture and as she is young and new, the hot pink I’ve used adds a flirty and fun feeling which reflects her. The picture takes up a whole page and is a photo shoot image. I picked this one because its long and she looks glamorous and unique. Its colourful which adds more colour to the pages as the main writing is black. I filled the background in light grey because I didn’t want it white as it looks to plain and boring so adding even a hint of colour brings out all the elements on the pages. For the title I used Lucida Handwriting because its slightly flicked and looks oriental and she is from that part of the world. For the main writing I used Tahoma because it’s a clear, standard writing and isn’t difficult to read. I added a speech bubble quoting something she said, to make the reader want to carry on reading about her. I filled this in green to catch the reader’s eye. From another magazine they used an arrow to show that the article is carried on over the next page. I added this is because it’s a good element that I want to include in my magazine. I filled it in pink. The same pink as the title and with an arrow in white to contrast the dark pink.

This double page spread fits with my magazine because I’ve used fresh colours and a modern person to do it on.
