The development of my double page spread

4th and final Draft



3rd Draft




2nd Draft



1st Draft




The most significant change to my double page spread is that the article headline font has changed significantly, my first draft i used edwardian script for the first letter of each word on my title. I then studied my style model and noticed that this type of font is not suited to my music genre. Another change i made is the drop cap to open my article on my first draft i used an enlarged capital which would not conform with the codes and conventions of my music magazine.

By my thrid draft i chose to lower the size of my title and move my stand first below the title and bleeding on to the second page. Included within my stand first is the by line which is a generic feature of a music magazine and identifys who the writer is and who produced images. I also moved my drop quoute to the centre of my article so that the layout looked balanced and not disjointed.

I also included the mast head of my magazine to the bottom of the page next to the page number which does match the number on my contents page. reasoning for this is that it is a code and convention of a successful current marketing music magazine such as NME.

For my third and final draft i made the opening paragraph bold as this is a code and convention of a muic magazine, it will also catch the readers eye and draw them to the beginning of the article. I decided to use a catchy opening sentence as this is the sentence that will encourage the reader to read on.
