Double Page Spread Research

This is an example of a double page spread targetted towards teens+. The structure of the article was my main focus. I deconstructed the article in a way to understand how the writer put it together. While doing this I realised that there was no way. For my target audience to read this and be comfortable with it, it shouldn't be so organised and structured in a formal way, which is what I thought i had to do. It's more like the artist is speaking to the reader. I had a go at writing a few questions similar to the ones above.

How did you boys meet?
How has fame affected your daily lives?
How well do you all get along ?
Has there been a memorable experience?
Is there anyone you would like to work with in the future?
What are your forthcoming plans?

Contents page feedback and development

After analysing and evaluating my own contents page i was able to identify a few problems. Although, I as a producer would probably analyse in a biased way i received feedback from my peers. The reason why i chose to get feedback from my peers is because they are all doing similar tasks and they will find it easier to identify any production problems which they can advise how to fix with the software we use. More constructive criticism than if i went to my target audience.

1) One problem my peers had identified is the boring background. 

I liked the idea of simple but it was too simple and made it look effortless and colourless.

I could not solve this by just applying a random background colour but instead using a sample from my front cover to create as a background for my contents page.

2) Another problem was the scan/barcode. I showed my peers that i wanted to use it to encourage interaction but they mentioned that it is very random on a contents page and that it should be place somewhere else. The point of a contents page is to act as a guide to help readers navigate through my magazine.

Dps (ideas)

Here are layout ideas for my double page spread that i could be using for my dps. I will be deciding on which layout to use closer to the time.

contents page construction

Using rulers to create my contents page. I placed already written text in an organised fashion, in line and correct sizes so everything looks smooth and neat. The different colours adds character and makes the page a bit more interesting.
