Double page construction

Here is my construction of my double page spread. I stuck to common conventions and also listened to my target audience, however sometimes didn't follow what my target audeince wanted.

Here is my background of the Photoshop double page spread. I got this image to play on the fact that the star is called George England.

Next I made the flag look faded which I thought would make my writing stand out easier from the background.

After this I added page numbers to the bottom right and left this stuck to common conventions because every magazine tells the audience what page they are on. I also made sure that these numbers were the same as the ones on the images of the contents page. This makes the font stand out to the reader.

I then got an image of star and cut the black background out from around him to make him stand out next to the flag. This wasn't my plan at the start as I had planned to have the star out and about, not in the studieo however this didn't work out and I had to use an image that I had taken before hand.

After that I added text around the star telling the audience what the interview was about. Again I had to outline the text to make it easier to read off of the background. I made the text go around the star because as the audience read the text they can also see the image.

Next I added a title which I made blue. This colour again is unisex, however could be seen as a boys colour. I put this at the top of the page so it is the first thing that the audience will read.

Finally I added my interview with George onto a back of a guitar. I thought this was a really good idea to show what instruments George can play, giving the audience more information about the star. Taking the photo of the guitar was hard however as I had to edit the background of the image and it toke along time as it is a hard shape to work with.
