in today’s session i decided that i would try to create a mock up for the double page spread, that goes with my front page mock up. overall i think todays session was successful, and i think that it has helped me a lot to work out what kind of design i will be going for.
- i started out with simply having a big photograph, and i aimed for it to cover about half the double page, but in reality it was slightly smaller. i also added some small photo-shop brushes shapes for decoration in the corners, and added the headline. i kept to the pink and green colour scheme. however, i am pretty sure that i will change the colour scheme in the final magazine, as i feel that they come across too feminine, when my aim is be gender neutral.
i then added some other pictures of kareoke singers, representing the ‘runners’ up, and a picture of the ‘venue’ the competition was held at. the photograohs in the real version will include singers of both genders in the photographs, but for the mock-ups sake i did not worry too much about it. i am also not sure about the positioning, and i think i will consider incorporting the images in more with the te
I decided that, in order to fit in with the ‘laid back/ informal’ approach i am going for in my magazine that i would do the interview and writing piece as a question/answer session, where the author asked the person being interviewed questions and they answer. i also felt that this way i could make the layout more interesting than i simple block of text could look. however, i think that in my final piece that i will make the text smaller and have more in depth questions and answers, as well as more questions themselves.
