This is my first draft of my double page spread, after looking at several different double page spreads I identified that they often have smaller Q&A type boxes that are easier to read for readers who just flick through or who don't want to read an article. That is why I made the 'Aaron's Amplified Playlist' which told the reader what music he listed to which would be regular feature on all double-page spread interviews. I also made the border for that text and the text in the bottom right hand corner, a stripe of white and then the background colour which I think gave a more interesting look and made it stand out. To make the text boxes for the actual article a bit more interesting I added the 'paint splatter' effect to areas using Macromedia Fireworks which I also thought made it look more 'rock' as it has splatered paint has connotations of rebellion and attitude. I also used Macromedia Fireworks to fix some issues I was having with the text in that when the textbox was tilted all of the actual text distorted, so to resolve this I added the text in Fireworks rather than on Publisher and tilted it on there which then did not distort the text. I have also added another image of an album cover, with my model on a motorbike which adds to the alternative/rock image.
