Below is the first draft of my double page spread:
What I like:
- I like the size of the image as the audience will be able to clearly identify who the star is
- I like the size of the headline as it stands out of what the article will be about
- I have included many conventional features of a double page spread, eg page number, image, headline etc
What I need to do:
- Experiment with the image, eg editing the image
- Experiment with the placement of the headline and space out the words more from each other
- Add in an official date
- Identify some other ways I can interpret the word “Rises”
- Frame my image well so the whole guitar is in it and doesn’t cut off
Reflection
When creating my first draft of my double page spread I carefully considered the layout of where I was aiming to put my headline, image, information etc. I also had to make sure my image and headline was a good size to ensure I would catch the attention of my audience, and I had to consider a catchy headline that would hopefully get the interest of them too and real them in to reading further. I chose to include an image that used a guitar as a prop so it gives a potential relation between the star and the audience and give them a chance to show their personal identity.
