Double Page Spread First Draft

Here, for my first draft I have used a basic structure for my double page spread, including an eye catching title, drop capitals, a summary sentence and an image. I have picked these features from magazines such as NME. I decided that some things needed to change, such as the title, it looks as if it's for a fairground rather than representing a one man band in a double page spread. The summary sentence also lacks colour, e.g. a highlighted word or phrase which has been a used feature in Uncut magazine, highlighting an important quote or name. There is far too much space which has been left unfilled, which definitely needs to be filled up with other features from other classic rock magazines. The colour image at the bottom definitely needs to be in black and white, to represent the classic rock look a lot more. There are too many colours in the background on the shelves which distracts the attention from William Stone rather than focus on him. However it does lack some colour!
