I began my double page by creating a grey background using the paint tool. I then used the layer tool to put my photo onto the page. I then used the magnetic lasso to cut out the photo. Next I added a black rectangle and the running head that was the same colour as the features column in the contents page. Using the same fonts as on the front cover I started on my headline and then changed my font to the artists 'logo'.
Next I added in a small horizontal photo and created a Standfirst to introduce the article, which wrapped around the photo. i then created my drop cap which was the same font as the 'logo' in the headline. I then used the grid tool to create columns to put my text in and wrapped my text around the drop cap, leaving space for the pull quote. In the text I used language that is suitable for my reader using swear words and slang. This would mean their is no barrier between the reader and the article as they will be able to understand it. The questions from the interviewer are in the same colour as the logo, drop cap and border of the photo to create that connection within the whole article.
I then added in the pull quote and wrapped the text around it. I created the pull quote in the same font as the logo etc. and used the stoke tool to but a black boarder on it like I have done with all the other parts. Next I added in another pull quote on the side I have my large photo on to get rid of negative space. I then added a small piece of text explaining the background information (byline), which is a conventional element used in dance music magazine articles. Page numbers were added which were inspired by the way Mixmag do it as I have put the name of the magazine and the page number together.
