This is my design for the double page spread. The article is the one mentioned on the cover - it is the main flash and background which accompanied it.

I shall interview Adam, who is actually in a band called Monocure. The heading of the page will be 'Adam from Monocure' in large lettering which will be clear to read and stand out straight away, the first thing you read. It has a tag line underneath - 'tells us all!', this tag line makes it sound exciting and we want to read the article as he is telling us all!

There will be a large picture on each page of him or his band. The photographs may be posed or live.

Above you can see the questions and room for answers underneath. There will be a couple of quotes from the interview in larger lettering to attract the audience into reading the whole article as the quotes will sound interesting and you'll want to know what they are about, the full story.

There will also be information on when their album will be released, this will be separate from the interview answers. I shall use colours and fonts which will appeal to both males and females of all ages which are my target audience. The layout will be neat and tidy to appeal to older people as well as young ones. It will be clear and easy to read with a reasonable sized and style font, unlike magazines I analysed earlier.


This is the contents page design. The font for the heading will be like the font for the masthead on the cover. 'Contents' is the biggest word, as it is important but it shall have 'Shock', the magazine's name, just before the word 'contents'.

I want it to be clear what page everything is so it will be labelled with the page number neatly centralized at the bottom.

I want to include some pictures to make my contents page interesting and not just boring, something to look at is ideal. It also gives a sense of what's in the articles mentioned and may attract readers to those pages.

There will be quotes on the page with page numbers by them, these will make the readers curious and interested therefore attracting them to the pages stated by the quote.

The layout will be reasonably neat and tidy and not too cluttered. It will be clear to read with colours to brighten it up. The colours will not be particularly masculine or feminine so will appeal to both genders. I will choose a font that is easy to read but attractive at the same time, preferably the page numbers will be in a different colour to what is on that page so you can distinguish between the two easily.
