Double Page Spread Flat Plan

Double Page Spread

Once again, my section header is placed at an angle to add depth and interest to my product. Moreover, it fills space without looking cramped. I think that on an angle, the magazine and text will look more modern and appealing to the target audience of teenagers. If everything on my page was straight and orderly, it would not look interesting or fun.
On the other hand, my flash is straight but I chose to do this in order to create a contrast between this and my section header. This contrast makes each piece of text stand out more. Also, there is space surrounding the flash which means that it is clear and will not get lost in the other bodies of text.
I did not like the look of the sidebar on the other page on this double-page spread, and it is yet to be determined whether I will actually use this is my final product, but I liked the way I positioned it here. I chose t have the model looking as though they are leaning up against it, which once again makes the product seem more interesting while also adding some unique depth and realism into the piece.
My feature article photo is going to be spread across both pages in order to clearly connect the two together and add depth. Furthermore, I had an idea that the model should be sat with one knee up and only the other leg should flow onto the next page; this will not take up much room for the article text but will create a nice border for the article to sit around.
My headlines and quotes are going to be bigger than the section header so that they stand out massively on the page and readers' eyes are drawn to them. Furthermore, I have placed each section at different angles so that they overlap each other, creating the illusion that they have been scattered on the page. The different angles also aid the depths of the page.
My pull quote is clearly visible in between the two columns of text which not only breaks up the large amounts of small text, but also has a border which makes it more eye-catching. The pull-quote will be interesting therefore readers would be more likely to read the rest of the article framing this section.
I was going to use only one main image so that the page did not look too cramped and that eyes were drawn to the feature image more. Although, I felt that this would look too sparse and that there would look like too much text for people to read if there weren't images to break this up. Therefore, next to my headlines and quotes I placed a graphic feature which will included an image with a caption, perhaps linking to the text in the headline. This will add more interest to the page.
I chose to make my article look structurally pleasant on the page and decided for the sizes of the columns to ascend throughout the pages. A large amount of text deters readers therefore starting with a little seems approachable. furthermore, by the time they get to the last, longest column, they will continue reading; they are interested in the article itself. On the page, I think that this looks like a volume logo, which links to music and youth. Therefore, the article links to the context of my magazine as well as the teenage target audience.
