Why Change the Double Page Spread?

This is the original draft of the double page spread for my music magazine. I was happy with it, and didn't intend on changing much about it, however, upon recent research I have changed my mind.

Taking a look at this double page spread, you can see that the text is smaller, there is less of it and the image is more focused on. I feel these are features my DPS is lacking in.

Here, you see that there is one image, some more text, however the image takes up a third and a half. The title is very large and so is the quote. Again, I felt this was not consistant with my work.

This is demonstrated again here.

This is just some of the changes I intend on making to the article.


From this I have learnt that I underestimated research and it is a valuable tool to use when creating a magazine. Upon correecting this, I am now able to change what I need to and bring the quality of the magaizne up.
