Magazine development continued

Here I have started to develop my double page spread by first inserting the article that I had written previously. I have chosen to use a question and answer format as I found out that this format is frequently used in pop magazines. I have used a different colour for the questions which allows the reader to navigate around the article easier; the colour also makes the text stand out. 

Here I have added a pull quote as my headline as this is a generic convention of a pop music magazine. I have also added a drop cap to attract attention to the article, the drop cap is also a generic convention of a pop magazine article. 

In this screenshot I have added a main image, a small portion the image bleeds across to the next page to connote the importance of the photograph. I have to chosen to used this image as it is a stereotypical image to use; she is smiling connoting happiness. The style of clothing and pose reflects the 'pop' genre. I have also drawn a pink circle around the pull quote, the pink colour connotes femininity and reflects my house style. 

Here I have added the title of the magazine in the top right hand corner of the magazine which is a generic convention of pop magazine, it also makes sure that I continue my house style throughout my pages. I have also included page numbers and a website which is there throughout my magazine pages. 

I have adjusted my website and page numbers; I have made them bold so that they stand out and are coherent.
