This magazine as an influence because it includes an article about a photographer, giving him a profile, asking him questions and also showing some parts of his work within the same page. I chose it as an influence because I am interviewing a local graphic design artist for my article. I want to try and emulate this particular page, in that I like the way it is set out. My article will involve an interview with the graphic design artist himself and the use of images will include a picture of the artist himself, as well as three other images of some pieces of his work, this way I feel I can fit all parts of the feature that I want to achieve into one double page spread. Also, this particular layout is neat and has a similar kind of simplistic design to the features I would ideally like to see in my magazine. The use of the headlines are subtle and I like the way the article has been placed next to one of the images. This is one of my most important influences for the double page spread.
This is a double page spread taken from A Love Supreme, the Sunderland fanzine. I like the layout of this double page spread. It has a good balance between the use of images and the use of text. I like the use of the strapline at the top of the page, as well as the placement of the magazine's masthead/logo either side of it. I also like the background effect used for the article's headline. It is very innovative and creates an interesting look to the page. I may add some sort of effect to my headline in order to create a similar interesting look. I like the way that the images disrupt the text, for example on the left side of the page where the image causes the column of text to be interrupted. This is because it adds a sense of informality to the text and creates an almost playful look. This is a common feature in regional/football magazines because the demographic tend to appreciate designs that are less formal and serious than designs that are too formal.
