Double Page Spread Layout

From making my flat plan at the start of this process I have noticed some changes as well as features that I have kept the same. I decided to use two magazines from 'Vibe' as inspiration for layout. Initially I decided to have a quote in the left hand corner, underneath a stand followed by the interview. Also with a picture of my model in a particular pose. As I furthered my research,I felt that using two magazine for inspiration would help make my layout look original to the my brand and also intrigue my target audience more.

I wasn't to sure what colour scheme I was going to use for my double page spread, however through looking at the double page spread from vibe I noticed the colours chosen come from the image. I also decided to layout my text in the following way: on the left hand side the photograph of Raine Love , then Her name in a sans serif font to resemble handwriting as she considers herself to be a poet, underneath a statement 'no limit' followed by her achievement and small summary of what 'Fresh' thinks of her so far. All of these things that are apart of the layout were inspired by the double page spread of Wiz Khalifa. I however liked how the spread of Bruno Mars and three columns and a question and answer type of interview. I felt that this better suited my artist and decided to layout the rest of the page in this way. I also included my own bar code in the same way vibe magazine does

I feel that the use of my layout including the image makes it very Fresh and new. which also relates to my magazines intentions. Even though from doing research I have noticed that the photograph of the artist has a solid colour background. I felt that the abstract , spontaneous background that Raine Love is in front of relates to her background and how she has used this to help her with her success. I didn't fully use the solid colour background solely because I want my magazine to live up to its name and use different conventions of a Hip- Hop magazine.
