Double page changes

This is the the first draft of my double page spread. I was fairly satisfied with it, however after receiving some audience feedback for my product and acknowledge that i needed to make some changes. Most of my audience group said that the model in the article didn't fit with the style and genre of the magazine.

I agreed with their opinions, so i found another model to use in the article who I thought fits the style and genre of my magazine. Even though it took time and effort having another photo shoot and editing the article again I thought it was well worth while in the end and my magazine benefits from it.

Contents page analysis

This is a contents page from Vibe magazine. This is a very unusual contents page because it’s very simple as it only contains on main image, title, and a small section of text on the left hand side of the page. The colour scheme is dull and not bright at all, which switches all the focus on the image of the artist.

The camera shot of the image is from a low angle so the artist is looking down at the audience, this makes him seem powerful and slightly intimidating. He’s also not wearing a top which is a bit domineering towards the audience. The subject is wearing a number of chains around his neck and jewellery around his hands, which suggests that he is very wealthy even though the tattoos suggest he may be from a lower social class. The cap is conventional accessory item of a rapper and because it’s flipped backwards suggests that he does not obey rules and does whatever he likes.

The background is a plain red and there is a large dark red 'V' shape behind the artist. This subconsciously reminds the reader that this is Vibe magazine. The feature text on the left hand side leaves a lot of empty space on the page which is unusual to see in a contents page.

The simplistic look of this contents page is very refreshing to see as too many contents pages seem very clustered as they try to use every space on the page.
