The second page of my double page spread was alot more easy to create. It was simple and the article just carried on from the page before. I had 3 columns at the bottom to the page, only very small though to bring the article and interview to a close, and i carried on with the same text and font, Times New Roman, size 9, red for questions and black for awnser. Throughout the whole of my magazine i think that the use of downwards columns in a strong structured way has been very successful and is very conventional of a magazine. Above the 3 columns i then decided to have a collection of 6 images which were all associated with the article. I was careful how i placed these images, and used the place and copy tool on photoshop to do so. This creation was easy, as i already had planned the images i wanted to use. I layed them out on the page in a collage style, and used images of all sizes and colours to create a good contrast. I then underneath had a tiny paragraph explaining about each image,and i made this text size 8, so there was c difference between the article and then the imagery text. To finish the page i then added the ONE MUSIC MAGAZINE, and date to the bottom right hand corner of the page, keeping in mind the basic conventions.

One of the main changes to my double page spread was the photos that were placed. I moved them around alot to make sure they were correctly laid out on the page and so that the page was eye catching and appealing. The font for the photo captions underneath i also changed alot to make sure i had it right, and in the end decided the font size 8 would work best.
Here is what double page spread page 2 looked like.
