The article in my Double Page Spread is presented in three columns which is a convention of Music Magazine articles, particularly interviews. The first letter of the first column is always larger than the rest, as it indicates for the reader where to start reading. The interviewer's questions are highlighted in bold, but their questions are short, allowing more room for the interviewee (the fictional musician I came up with: Graham Kierkegaard) to speak. In between two paragraphs there is a quote from the article which is particularly eye catching.
At the top of the page is the title, 'Pioneer Of The Electric Triangle' with a subheading underneath introducing the interviewee, whose name is highlighted in Capitals. The 'A' in the title is a triangle shape, similar to that on the front cover.
There is also a quote on the left side of the page in the bottom right from the musician pictured. The picture has a sort of sepia-like tint, in keeping with the colour scheme and genre of the magazine.
The page numbers in the bottom corners of the pages are in red boxes, but are small as to not take up too much room and the logo of the magazine is in the top left of the first page.
The article I wrote is designed to be satirical, making fun of the pretentious, egotistical singer-songwriters you read about in magazines such as NME, which the readers idolize despite the fact that much of what they say is meaningless. The statements of Graham Kierkegaard are deliberately contradictory and outlandish to Satirize these sorts of musician, who make these controversial remarks for publicity and to justify themselves as an artist.
