Here is a double page spread analysis that I created using Microsoft powerpoint.

This is the same powerpoint that I presented on my last video upload, with an extra magazine analysis on it.
It shows features of the double page spread, and analysis' of the layout, and why all of these things will help me to create a better double page spread.

Here is my first draft for my double page spread.

On this, I have a simple but attractive double page spread, with the image on one side, and the text on the other.
It has a conventional 'C' shaped curve, but flipped around, as you are drawn to the image, then you read the article, and then once again are drawn back to the image.

Here is the mock up for my double page spread.

I have decide to create a reasonably simple double page spread, and intend on bringing in the audience with the use of the image, and the leading text.

Here is my presentation of an analysis of an 'NME' double page spread.

I created this using Microsoft powerpoint, and presented it to my class and teacher.
It includes all the aspects expected of a DPS analysis, and is explained in as much detail as possible.

Here is the second draft of my Music magazine front cover.

From the previous draft I have:
- Edited the length which i went accross with my explanatory text
- Change my barcode, to make it look more proffestional
-Changed the positioning of the model
- Change the text font, and the colours of the title

With all of these changes, the layout has been completely change, and it looks a lot more professional, and more appealing to my target audience.
Here is the changes from my first draft to my second draft.

It shows the feedback that I recieved, and how I used it to improve the whole magazine front cover.
