Todays Lesson.

            After editing, using iPhoto. -

In todays lesson I began to create my double page spread, using the NME double page spread that I annotated as a guideline and for inspiration. I chose this picture because it was taken when the model was laughing and having fun during the shoot, this makes her seem a more normal teenager and more likable to the audience, which then means they will be able to relate to her as an artist. It contrasts nicely with the seriousness of the the picture of her on my front cover. 

I chose the heading 'Zero to Hero', because during the article I am planning to discuss her inspirations, and one of them was from the moral of her favourite childhood film (as mentioned in the intertexuality) Hercules, which includes motivational songs such as 'Zero to Hero' and 'I can go the distance'. I chose Zero to Hero as the heading, because I thought it related perfectly with the artists story and double page spread, as she is an emerging artist who is suddenly becoming successful in the industry. 

FINAL front cover.

After starting my double page spread, and choosing a shade of blue of the heading that matched the guitar and the headband in the picture, I made the editorial decision to then go back and edit my front cover text to the same colour, so that my magazine is coherent.
