All the way through, I knew how I wanted my double page spread to look. My biggest problem was the background and text colours. I found that my first draft looked a bit too much like a school project because of the faded pink to white background and the pull quote bein on a slant. this wasn't really conventional.
My Second draft, I removed the background making it more conventional as most magazines like 'Q' and 'MOJO' stick to plain backgrounds, concentrating on the pictures and the text. I also altered the pull quote, I decided that it may look better in line with the text. I found that the double page seemed to start to come together. However, I still had troubles with the text colour, putting it all in pink was too garish. look attention off of the pictures and was hard to read.
So when it came to my third and final draft, I found that less pink is more. I kept the first part of the introduction and the questions pink to carry on with the house style and the theme of a girl band. I also moved the pull quote over to make it more in line with the text. I found that all these alterations helpes the magazine look sophiscated and professional.
