Spread mock ups

The point of the spread it to interest the readers into the music of R&B and its artists and bands. The spread that I created had to be eye catching and different to allow the reader to be interested in reading it.

My first mock up followed the layout that I had selected. I love the way in which the text is set in

the middle, however its the surrounding images and text that look out of place. The main image is

too small, therefore doesn't have any effect when the reader first looks into the page. Although the title is compact in its current position doesn't look as effective as it could do. The left side is untidy therefore will have to be completely changed.

My second mock up looks a lot more tidy than the

last, however it is know the left hand side that looks, unprofessional. On the other hand the right

hand side is simple but effective with the one strong bold image that will draw the reader into the article. Although there are aspects that work in these tow page spreads, I believe that the best thing to do is to change the layout of the spread to one of the other layouts, to allow the page to flow and look tidy and aesthetically pleasing.
