In the preliminary task we were instructed to create a school magazine cover and contents page. This meant we did not have to design and write a double page spread, however this is something we had to do for the main task of creating a music magazine. As I had no practice in making a double page spread I found this section of the task slightly harder as I had to learn what to do as I went along. The research and planning helped me greatly when I made my double page spread as it gave me the knowledge of what works and what doesn't.
In the making of the double page spread there were a lot more elements to be completed in comparison to the other pages in the magazine. I had to focus on my writing style and how I wanted the stroy to come across to the readers. This meant I needed to create a balance using formal and informal language that would appeal to the readers. Along with writing the story the page design was also challenging as I had to wrok with two pages and ensure they flowed simultaneously. I am used to working on single pages so I found it harder to create a double page spread that worked well. I think the final product of the double page spread has worked well and I think all of the elements compliment each other creating something that will be very appealing to the target audience.
