Final Double Page Spread

I have tried to keep this double page spread simple and to the point, while giving it a smart, well presented look. For the title I thought it would be a good Idea to add some colour into this otherwise grey scale pahe. 'Mozart' is in red. This also isolates what I think the most important information on the page, the composer or who is being talked about. I layered the style of the type faces. For example, the title I used my themed font (cambria math) which is a tradition serif font. The for the second layer I used a more modern looking font which is grey in colour. This is the Subheading. for the article I used Cambria Math for my font. I was thinking about using a simple Times New Roman font but I much prefered this one. It has body to it anbd slighty bigger, thus being easier to read and look at.

I decided to use two columns for the article to break up the text into something less daunting and what seems a more manageble piece of text, which will encourage to read on more. In doing research I found the use of 'Drop caps' to be popular with writers. This must be because it gives a solid place to start without the reader feeling lost when looking at all the text. I think it also
looks quite professional:


The large portait on the right hand page would be the first thing the reader would see when they flick through the magazine. I decided to take advantage of this and have a large portrait of Mozart.

The boarder around the edge of the portrait and the article help to centre what needs to be focus on and gives the whole double page spread more of a organsied and placed feel. I also think it stays in the conventions of this genre of magazine in that it looks smart and professionally presented.
