middle page skeleton diagrams

The first design I made includes a large photograph that would spread through a large percentage of the page as this will get most attention. An example of this is the article titles 'Magic and Loss.'

Then I decided to put a quote in the middles of the text, so the text will act like a border causing the reader to acknowledge the quote, making them more interested in the article. After this, I put a photograph at the top right hand corner so not all of the main features are on the left page. The effect of this is that the pages wont look too crowded. Also, I decided to put the text around it so it will direct the readers eye's into looking at the photograph.

For the second diagram, I only included one photograph so I could include more text. In the middle pages I analysed, they included lots of writing and information. So I wanted to see if the page would look professional if it includes lots of information. I would display a bordered section on the right page because the information I would put in here would stand out against the rest of the page, meaning more attention would be paid too it.  The article regarding Jimi Hendrix uses this effectively. Also, it means that not all the main features are on the left page causing it to be busy.

For the last page, I again included a large photograph that would cover the majority of the double page spread. Then I decided to put the Title in the middle of the top half of the page because it makes the reader's eye's draw to both of the pages. I decided not to use a quote on this page because  I have used lots of quotes on the other parts of my magazine and I don't want it to become repetitive and boring. Also, I put a picture on the right hand page too spread the features of the magazine out, so the page does not get too crowded or busy. 

I put a large piece of text underneath the picture, as this is where the interview of the article would be.   This is presented in the article that presents Billy Gibbons that inspired me.The effect of having so much space for the interview emphasis to the reader the amount of relation and effort the artists puts in to the article; making the reader want to read more.
