Heading for double Page spread





























Feedback Of Headings for double page spread:


  • Need to stand out
  • The colour scheme is good as it fits the lifestyle
  • The glow and drop shadow works very well to make the title stand out and give it emphasis
  • Short and snappy works better than a long title (like the first one). 
  • Use of changing sizes and font goers well with the page - (Bold and italic)
  • The slanted words look too informal and makes the page look messy.

Double Page Spread Improvements



Feedback from my first attempt at making my double page: 

  • "Use more colours to make the page stand out more"
  • "It's too simple, you need to add effects to make the title stand out, and make the text into columns that can fit from one end of the column to the other side"
  • "Add other features to the page, so it looks more appealing to the audience".
  • "Keep referring back to the house style, and add more things to the page, making it more exciting, starting with the Heading."

Contents Page Final






Audience feedback and Improvements: 

  • The use bold and thin text, shows the reader what is supposed to stand out more. 
  • The colours used continuously makes the page look neat and easy to read 
  • Change the bottom image to another model, so the magazine looks like it provides a various amount of stories - Different type of image 
  •  I made improvements by, changing the pink colour on the sentences underneath the title of each page, to black rather pink, this makes the page look more formal. 
  • I made improvements by making the website text thin (at the bottom of the page), rather than bold.
  • I changes the image, by doing another photo shoot, using a different model.

Conventions of a double page


  • Image of artist/band article is about
  • Name of artist 
  • Columns for the article/ interview 
  • Pull quote 
  • promotions
  • Images (mini images)
  • Title that stands out (Catchy)
  • Each article usually sticks to no more than three main colours, to ensure its eye-catching, but doesn’t put its readership off of the article.
  • Websites and information (e.g. new singles) written in a strip at the bottom of the page.

Double page Spread draft


Anyone heard the latest news about the loved up couple, Marvin and Rochelle Humes. Well let us fill you in. The couple were seen on ‘Good morning world’ chat show, on the 18th of January. Interviewed by Katie Linton, they were questioned about any new family edition planning, or thoughts on another baby Humes. Marvin hinted, “You never know, it would be lovely for Alaia to have a sibling”. Is there an Infant Humes 2 on the way?
Exciting the crowd alongside Katie, however the couple didn’t state clearly their current situation.
Taking it back a step, to the history of the loved-up couple who are already parents to daughter Alaia-Mai, who will be celebrating her second birthday in a few months. Rochelle and Marvin married in a fairy-tale ceremony at Blenheim Palace in summer 2012. Their daughter, Alaia, arrived the following year. 

Despite loving life now, the beautiful singer admits things weren't so easy at first following Alaia's birth. As Katie has a deep conversation about the pop stars’ first pregnancy, Rochelle openly stated "For a while you just feel a little bit weird emotionally. I knew I didn't have post-natal depression because it wasn't all day, every day. But I felt very low," she says. Rochelle credits close friend Myleene Klass for helping her during one particularly low point when she was becoming upset about the smallest things. "I had to have a C-section because Alaia was breech and the cord was around her neck. The first time I had a shower afterwards I was in so much pain, it was so upsetting”
"Then Myleene Klass sent me a lovely text: 'Rochelle, its Day three, don't freak out. You WILL get teary.' I was so grateful because I felt like a freak!" For the first few months, you're so tired you just want to go to bed. I was very emotional. One day, Marvin asked me what I wanted for breakfast and even that set me off. I just wailed 'cereal' across the house. We still joke about it now!" The couple revealed some laughable details about their pregnancy, but could Rochelle be hinting, that she is definitely not having another baby? Could Alaia be the one and only Humes?

Despite all the differences and struggles, Marvin and Rochelle, couldn’t be better with their little baby girl. "Having a child strengthens your bond even when you don't think you can get any closer. We look at her and think, 'That's both of us there. It's me and you and no one else in the world has the bond we have.'"
Travelling to Morocco for an early Valentine's mini-break, Marvin and Rochelle were enjoying a romantic holiday without their little girl – only the second time they've been away on their own since their baby was born."I fancy Rochelle massively and constantly find myself looking at her thinking, 'Wow, that's my wife” Marvin told HELLO! Magazine.

During an interview with Katie, Marvin had previously made no secret of his desire to have more children, and speaking candidly about whether it will happen any time soon, Marvin said: "I want another baby, I really do. If I had my way, we'd have one every year." Followed on by Rochelle quoting "He's not even exaggerating”.


The brunette beauty of girl group The Saturdays revealed that she hadn't enjoyed her first pregnancy. "I really wish I had, but I didn't at all… I felt sick, tired, huge, weepy and unattractive."," said Rochelle. Marvin made no delays in telling his wife how beautiful she looked. "When she was pregnant with Alaia, I found her so amazingly sexy," the former JLS singer admitted. "She thought I was just saying it to make her feel better, because she felt so big and unattractive." Peaking about their family life, Marvin admitted that his girls are "everything" to him. Rochelle, likewise, is very protective of her firstborn baby. "She's so pure, so innocent, and it's my role as her mum to protect her," she said.
