When designing my double page spread the main theme I wanted to get across was to represent the artist Dani. The way I wanted to represent Dani was as a fun, edgy, rebellious girl who doesn’t care about what people think of her.
I knew when I was planning that I wanted to sue contrasting pictures in the double page spread. The reason why I wanted contrasting pictures was to show two sides of the artists and to also give the feature more variation in emotions. The images clearly represent the emotions of the quotes which are beside it. This is done in many magazines because sometimes the image may not be about that quote but they complement each other well that’s why they use them. The first image is of her looking annoyed and frustrated; you can tell this by her angry facial expression and pose. The contrasting image is of her blowing a kiss to the camera. These contrast in love and hate. By having the quotes ‘I hate the music industry’ and ‘but love my fans’ it makes the reader think that she is just an ordinary girl who isn’t into the music industry
but loves her fans. This will make the readers who are fans feel special ad more important than her career.
I experimented with colours and styles to make sure that I again represented the artist’s personality and emotions correctly. I edited the word ‘hate’ in the quote ‘I hate the music industry’ to a red colour with an underline. By doing this it created emphasis to the word and the colour red represents anger which I think would show how much the artist hated the music industry. The colour of the border is a dark purple colour, the reason I used this colour was because it matched the colour of Dani’s dress and also the colour purple is an edgy colour. The reason its edgy is because the colour purple is a girly colour but because this is a dark purple it makes it seem less girly and more tomboy. In the border I inserted the text ‘R&I Exclusive Artist Interview’ into it, this makes it more official and show that ‘R&I’ is the only magazine to get this interview with her.
When writing the actual interview I decided to have the headline as a quote from the interview. This will give the reader a sneak peak to the interview and make them want to read more. When I wrote the introduction to the interview I wanted to create a rough overview of the artist. For the actual interview I wanted to differentiate the text between the interviewer and the artist. For the interviewer I had the words in bold and the artist in normal text writing.

Overall I think that I represented the artist well and also made this look professional. This article makes the magazine seem more important because this is an exclusive interview and also represents the rock/indie genre well.
