For my double page spread I took heavy inspiration from NME Magazine. I decided as I was going for a similar look and feel as the Lily Allen variant, so took inspiration from the less formal and professional looking layout for a more urban style. I felt this would appeal more to a teenage audience who would be bored by a flat, black and white, formal looking page.

I used large, bold text for my title that would grab attention, and used a font that looked like scrawled hand-writing so it appeared as though the "star" herself had written it. However, I found very quickly that the black font was boring on its own so included a second layer in the highlight colour to create a shadow that looked more visually appealing.

As I saw that many magazines started articles with a larger letter, I mimicked that in my own writing to use as a discourse marker that could clearly show the start of the article as well as to help make the article appear more contained in it's section.

Again, after taking inspiration from other magazines I included one of the quotes in my article in a larger font than any of the other text within the article. I used this a a line that the audience would be drawn to visually and then entice them into reading the article.

I used a large image for one half of my page so that not only was the page eye-catching, but didn't overwhelm the audience with text that may bore them into moving on or ignoring the page all together.

Although I placed the title behind my model to bring the image into the foreground, the space behind her looked empty so I placed a small grif behind her to fill some of the space and further bring the image into the foreground to help draw attention to the image and to contrast between the black and white of the outfit compared to the white background.
