The mast head of “WAVE” is at the top of the page in large bold font taking up ¼ of the front cover, this is so it stands out and you can easily see which magazine it is.
A large picture of a man with a guitar is then centred as the main image as he is of main relevance to the magazine so it is best to show him off at the start, somewhere close to him it will say “new artist” and then his name to draw readers in.
At the bottom right of the page, two writing boxes to describe some of the main headlines and the main attractions of what is in the magazine, basically giving you a speak preview, and so you know what your buying.
Another small image of a close up of someone's face is also on the front page stating “interview” to show that they have took time to find out about this new artist.
The contents page at the top says “wave contents” so you know what the page is which makes it easier to look around the magazine.
There is four areas to the page, two text and two images to create a balanced view to make it more appealing and easy to see and read.
The top left and bottom right have images to show artists who you will see in the magazine for interviews or normal reviews.
The other two corners have text, the “top 10” biggest hits in the right to give people an idea of the quality of music inside. The bottom left has “featured” written to show it is important and new and shows off festivals and reviews in the magazine.
The double page spread is split into two main sections, the image for one page and the text for the other.
The main image on one side will be of a singer who is standing ready to perform. It is large and shown of great importance for the article and is seen as a major part.
On the other page there is writing which tells you about this person and their life and how they were able to become famous. It gives you a detailed explanation.
Titles and headings will also be used to tell you the name of the artist and what the article is on etc.
Overall the double page spread is used as a balance so you can see the artist now but also get a more in depth view if you want to, it is split in two to make it better to view and read and again more appealing to people wanting a more basic view.
