Having done my interview with John Head I took some pictures of him so I can use them on my double page spread. As, I was aiming at a feminine audience when creating my music magazine I challenged some of the conventions already established in most music magazines. I tried to created clean lines and simple layout that is more aetheically pleasing than most music magazines. I also included a picture of John Heads son as this is not only informing but woman are more likely to respond to pictures of children (this is of course a generalisation but you have to establish a certain stereotype in your mind so your aim doesn't get muddled).
I also used the main colours of pastel pink and blue throughout the pages, I also included the signature pink line down the left side of the page - this also appears on my contents.
I, however, did not ingnore all conventions of music magazines for example; put my main title in the left hand corner, I put the artists name in bold and in blue so that it stands out, I pulled quotes from the text and the interview was organised into columns.
Here is my double page spread.
