DEVELOPMENT OF MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

After placing my masthead to fill one third of the page which is conventional, I felt that it was missing something beneath and added a stand first. I used a drop cap to start this off with the same foil effect inside as the masthead. By keeping this flowing throughout my magazine I felt it created a bling house style.
I then added a brief description of what the article would involve but kept this to one side as I felt it was conventional to do so. However, I also broke convention in terms of the font that I used. I used a font style which only comes in block capitals, but I wanted the stand first in itself to make a statement similar to the culture of hip-hop/rap culture with an "in your face" vibe.
