Homework

You need to write the article for your double page spread for your magazine.  It should be written accurately and should be written directly for the target audience.

It could be an interview with a band or artist, it could be a Q&A feature, it could be a 'getting to know the artist' feature.

It needs to be drafted and posted onto your blog by next Monday's lesson. 13/13/17.

Do some research into existing examples to prepare.

Double Page Spread examples to look at…..

The DPS is the hardest product to construct.

It relies upon using the same house style you have developed with your front cover and contents page.

It needs high quality photography.

It requires subtle use of page furniture.

All combined with excellent visual syntax achieved through high quality page layout, design and composition.

Oh, as well as a well-written article to accompany it!

There is a lot to do so you need to start preparing now.
