With the double page spread, I didn't include the same colour scheme as the front cover and contents page because I wanted the page to relate to the artist of the article.
For the image I have made it so that it is going across the two pages. With this I got the normal image which didn't have the dress floating behind. I had taken images of the dress in the air and have photoshopped it onto the end of the dress. I used a smudge tool to blend the two together to make one image. With the image I then added a shadow effect on it for it to stand out from the background.
For the colour scheme, I didn't base it from the colour scheme that I used for my front cover and my contents page because I wanted the double page spread to be separate from them and to focus on the artist. Most of the double page spreads I have researched all have a different colour scheme for their double page spread, dependant on the person they are using as the headliner.
In the background, 'BRIT' is used to show the reader that it is a british artist and it shows that is going to be somewhere explained further in the actual article.
Fot the article, I didn't wan't the writing to overlap the image so I did it as a starting point for the article. The rest of the article will be carried on to the next pages. People will know to do this due to the arrow located at the end of the last paragraph. If I was continuing with the article, I would put...
Oprah Winfrey is like a grandmother to me!" Hannah Roberts comes spinning into our interview room in a stunning black dress, completed with a gold necklace and classy black heels. She has spent the last hour answering your burning questions that you had sent in from twitter.
With summer rolling in and the BBQ finally coming out, she tells us what makes her summer special. "Like anybody else would! Get a pool out, throw some beef on the grill and it's the perfect summer!"
And what better to start the summer with her brand new album! 'Cripted' will be available on the 22nd of June. "I have big plans for this album. It's something personal to me and for all my fans. Much of my time has gone into this. I hope that people can see the real me" she says. "Not just the puppet in the headlines".
As Hannah spills more secrets and the truth finally comes out. Do the public really know the real Hannah Roberts? Because our juicy new interview tells us all there is to know about the Hannah that nobody else can see and who is the real girl in the charts is really about.
In recent interviews, Hannah has spoken out to the public after rumours got fired towards her within the last couple of the months.We cleared some of these up just for our readers.
We asked, 'Rumours have been spreading for a few weeks now, any in's and out's you would like to share?'. Hannah didn't hesitate to tell us about her crazy lifestyle.
'Every rumour is false. That's all there is too it. People see me as a star in the dumps that will end up like every other star out there. People just need to accept that i'm very young in the business and that i'm still learning the in's and out's of life' she said.
Hannah continued to 'wow' our studio throughout the time that she was there. Finalising with an exclusive photo shoot for our magazine.
The photo shoot consisted of three pictures. Two of which you will get free in this weeks issue (pages 71-72).
For the rest of the day, we sat down with her and looked into her crazy life. With the Brit awards coming up, we asked her the plans of her performance and what it is like to be nominated.
'I have things planned for the performance. I can't tell anyone what I am planning but hopefully it is going to go well' she said. She continued by adding, 'I am so thankful to be nominated for an award. When I first got signed to my contract, I had never thought I would be here'.
Don't forget to watch Hannah's performance saturday the 29th of June and vote for her as the 'best uprising star' of 2014.
Finally, we asked Hannah about a future tour that could be put in place.
'Yeah, I plan to do a tour' she started. 'I plan to do a little UK tour and hopefully in 2015 I will be going over to the states and starting a worldwide tour. It's all dependant on the album'.
The album is not far of from it's release date and the staff in the studio are more than excited. Can this new album be the big starting point for the star?
With the upcoming album and the (just announced) tour, Hannah is ready to travel the world with her music. The Crushed staff have no doubt in the studio that she will soon be taking over the charts and the star in the rising will soon be known in every household.

Contents Page
For my contents page I have used the same theme as the front cover so that it is all related to the one magazine.
The image I used was to keep a condensed feel to the magazine and to have the models eyes directed towards the features to the magazine. I have also put a shadow on her to bring the image out from the page. Because of the single image, it relates to the special which is stated to the side of the page.
With the background, I included a dropping wall of red which I have used to connote to the 'rock' style of the magazine.
With the features to the magazine, I used blocks of white for the writing to be able to stand out from the page without the background interfering. Page numbers are next to the features to show the reader how to find the top features in the magazine. An extra headings is used to cut a different section of the magazine away from the others. In this case, there is a 'Hannah Special' which will include everything about the artist that is inside the magazine. An extra side headings has been used opposite it. I have used this to include features that are recurring every issue of the magazine.
Above it all is a heading to relate to the image. I have included the quote to give off the impression that the reader has to read on if they want to find out what the artists is talking about.
At the top of the page I have used a blank black box to keep information and the title of the page in view. At the top of the page I have put the page name 'Contents' in bold, white and capitalised to make it stand out from the rest of the page. The magazine masthead is included to the side of it.
On the right of it I have included the issue number, date and magazine webpage. This is so the reader is reminded of what they are reading and how to be able to get in contact.

Front cover
For my music magazine front cover, I picked a theme that would stay constant throughout the contents page and the double page spread.
I chose the image for the cover because it has a direct link with the audience. The image was directed towards teens and young adults so I used a young model for the main image to connect with the audience. The colour scheme was dependant on the image with the use of red and black. I included white so it can make the image stand out with its bolder colours.
As using a various range of style models, I decided to incorporate different features from each magazine. The model is shown on top of the masthead of the magazine because it could connote that the magazine is well known.
The main headline is the largest with the name of the artist almost as big as the title. The smaller headlines are in different colours but all resembling back to the main image. I have used buzz words to capture the audiences attention and to make the articles, competitions and interviews seem as though they are worth the read. I have also used quotes to give an insight on what it could be about.
I have used the colours of red and white on the background to give the page some depth with the blurring of the two colours together. With the red at the top, it also helps to make the masthead stand out as it is in white.
The date, price and issue number are located below the masthead, also corresponding with the magazines colour scheme.
A barcode is located in the bottom left hand corner. This is a general convention that is used on every magazine cover but can be anywhere on the page. I have kept it in the corner to keep everything else a centre image.
On the main image, I have added a shadow effect to make the image seem as though it has depth and to look like it is popping out from the page.
With the masthead, I painted a guitar camouflaged into the 'D'. I have done this to relate the image to a music magazine and so it is easy to tell what kind of magazine it is.
With the competitions, I have added a faint red glow to the black to make them stand out to the rest of the subheadings. I have done this because it sits at the bottom of the page with the glow around and it stands out.
At the top of the page I have put a slogan to the magazine and have used 'The UK's number one music magazine' so it can engage readers with it being on of the best music magazines to buy, This can tempt them to buy it over every other music magazine.
