DPS draft 1

This is the first completed draft of my DPS (double page spread)

Firstly, the article is set out like an interview which is why the text is in different colour for the individual person. I have also set it out for those who are colour blind that at the beginning of each paragraph there is a letter to indicate who is saying what e.g. M stands for Mortdog and Q stands for question. Overall I think this setup is helpful for the reader.

The title for the article is a pull quote, I see this being used very often in music magazines for their articles as it grabs the reader with a line from the article that can shock the reader. I also Included a rhyming slogan, why? just to include something catchy, that and a few articles Include them.
The opening paragraph has a drop capital as i's almost a requirement to have one, all of the articles in music magazines I've read have one. The opening paragraph gives context and goes into more detail about the story. I've also ordered the interview into columns, like any article in magazines.

Other things I've done are the giant M in the background, a different take on the giant L, the design is similar to one of my influences. The M is red because that is one of the primary of my magazine. I have also included captions, one is a notice to get the readers to turn to the next page and another is a rhetorical question. Overall I think this is a good first draft.
