Appropriate interrogation of illustration and text

Within my double page spread I feel that the most obvious interrogation of illustration and text is the separate interview that I have created on the right side of the page, as the red box behind the whole interview defines that it is separate and also the word 'Pandora' is clearly related to the picture of 'Pandora' underneath the text. The other thing that is obvious is the text that I have written at the top that is 'Pandora's Box' and the picture that I have slightly put underneath the text. I feel that the text is really representative to the picture, I feel this because if the reader reads 'Pandora's Box' there eyes will follow on to fall on to the picture so therefore the text does represents the picture.

Awareness of need for variety in fonts

For my double page spread I did not use as much variety within my fonts as I did on my front cover. This was because all of my interview text had to be the same, as if it didn’t then it would look unprofessional, another reason is because it is not needed as much as it is on my front cover.

Awareness of need for variety in fonts

It is clear to say that I have followed through with the same text from my front cover right the way through to my double page spread. This shows that my theme is consistent and does not go off track. I feel that by have a variety of fonts can make your magazine stand out more, however I also think that there should be some set fonts for certain things as too many fonts can be distracting and it can make the magazine look scattered. By having a set font for certain things it is then easier for the reader to pick out certain things. For example: If someone reads my magazine and see’s the font of ‘Pandora’s Box’ and then see it again in another one of my magazines they may automatically think of ‘Pandora’s Box’ thus leaving set fonts to be just as effective as a variety of fonts.

Accurate use of language

Accurate and appropriate use of language was most important for my double page spread as it involved the most text. My research and planning posts of appropriate questions also helped me with the making of my double page spread as I was able to understand what questions to ask, and what questions not to ask. For me my double page spread was the hardest to keep up with as it had to be constantly spell checked, and I asked for feedback from my peers a lot which took up a lot of time due to all the reading. Even now there still may inconsistencies within my double page spread and some minor errors as I found it hard to go back and spell check everything, this is because I was on a tight schedule due to my Gantt chart, which meant that some bits were not spellchecked.
