My double page features an article about the latest album releases. I can across the idea when I was doing research on music magazine features. I thought this idea was very good as it has a connection to the genre of my magazine and it is something many readers would find interesting. Latest gossip and latest news is what my audience desires. My audiences want to know all the latest news and this article is the best way. My mind came across many other ideas such as gossip on celebrities, upcoming Artist reviews and interviews but the album review idea outshone the other ideas as it was the most relevant to my audience. The layout was designed this way as it made the article look less confusing and more attractive. The bright red background goes well with the magazine as it is a bold colour and I have been using bold colours like red throughout the magazine. The main point is that each review is my own honest opinion on each magazine. I had some of the albums and I borrowed the others so that I can listen and I can review them. I scanned the album covers in so that the reviews have an image to tie in together. The images make the article less bulky and more enjoyable to read. The album; ‘The E.N.D’ was on my friends album so I thought I can take an image of the that to show music being played on an IPod which ‘cross promote’ my advert.
