This is my first draft for my Music Magazine Double Page Spread, This includes a photo from my photo shoot. I made this Double Page Spread in Indesign.

Peer Feedback: Holly Langlois, I told Holly to look at various double page spreads as there are many different styles of this particular element of a music magazine. The reasoning Holly needed to research different styles is that so she understood all the conventions. 

Does The Image Create Enough Visual Intrigue?

“The model looks in control and as if he owns the industry, no one can better him. He is holding his record which tells me that he is excited about this record and wants people to hear, this will intrigue consumers as they will want to know weather they agree or disagree with the artists excitement.”

Are There Areas Where The Integration And Copy Is Distracting?

“Nothing is distracting, is all nice and clear for everyone to see and read”

Are The Media Forms Present That Are Conventional For A DPS?

“There are many conventional things about the double page spread, for example the layout is very typical and looks tidy and organised. There are some improvements to be made which would make it that bit more professional as they are subtle things but are still conventions.” Some improvements to be made are:

• The boarder around the image to be more exciting.
• Crop the image down to allow more space for the quote.
• Make the text less boring (Big bold letters at the beginning of a sentence)
• Text at the top of the writing to be in the center of the page.
• I would also use the same star as your cover image.

Some Conventions Used Are:

• Columned Text
• Drop Capitals
• Page Layout
• Headline
• Standfirst

Summery:

In conclusion I am happy with my overall feedback yet there are improvement I could make to make my Double Page Spread even better.
