Double Page Spread

double page spread Production

I wrote out the interview that I drafted during the previous post, added colour to the questions and put large quotes in spaces, like other magazines do, and turned all the text white so that it would show up on a black background

Added the aforementioned background.

Added an image into the spread, as a placeholder for when I manage to acquire more images.

At the moment, most of my images are very similar, and the ones that are not, are not suitable for the spread.

Although they are hard to see, I added page numbers in the bottom corners. They use the pink and blue so fit in with the house style.

Interview Draft

A Thousand Eyes reveal how they feel about thousands of eyes watching them for their debut album due next year.
Not only did we get shots of their unplugged session, we got an exclusive interview with them.
Max answered most of the questions but if someone else answered, well let you know.

Let's Begin:

How did you guys meet and get together as a band?
Well, Abby, Ross and I were all at college together, and we jammed now and then, but we needed a drummer. When we got back to college for our second year together, Ryan had started and said he was a drummer looking for a band, and that's pretty much it.

What are your main influences as a band?
We're not too sure really, there is a massive range of stuff, I mean, it's primarily metal, slipknot and such, but we also liked to change up some other things, a bit of ska punk, some reggae, it's all there really.

Who's the oldest out of you lot?
(Abby) That would be moi.
(Rest) She's also the craziest haha.

Do you enjoy playing live?
Yeah, it's really great. I mean, the buzz we get off the crowd is insane, they love, and so do we.
(Ross) Yeah, and we also get to go places, it's incredible just how much hype we have without even releasing an album yet, we just have some videos on the internet and a street crew, getting us known around the world.

So you reckon that the album will sell?
Well, for us, it's not about selling albums, it's the live shows, so we don't care as much as others might if the album doesn't sell, we just care that people come to our gigs, and the album is just another means of convincing them of coming.
(Ryan) In short no! hahahaha.

What do you guys do in your free time?
(Ryan) Well I skate a little, I'm not amazing at it but I enjoy it.
(Ross) I just play my guitar and go to gigs if were not gigging ourselves.
(Max) I'm a graphics designer, I do a little freelance stuff now and then, and i design most of our graphics, like our logo, and our album cover *wink wink*
(Abby) I spend too much time on the internets.

So you're pretty normal people, when you're not busy doing band stuff?
We like to think so, I mean, losing who you are, hinders your music, you lose the feeling of being you, and just turn into a dancing monkey.

Is there a them to your album?
(Ross) Nah, it's just some songs we threw together *wink*
(Max) Shut up Ross hahaha. there is a them, it's about the rise and fall of humanity and how we all take things for granted, and aren't prepared to lose anything we own.
