FINAL FEATURE

When planning my feature I decided I wanted the page to be more plain than the contents page and so I used a plain white background. The colours I used within the feature were consistent to the colours used throughout the rest of the magazine. I once agin used the 'hot' logo however underneath it I changed the sub heading to 'The hottest music interviews' to differenctiate between what each page was showing.

I used the font StencilStd to make the words EXCLUSIVE- the font used gave the words the effect of a 'Top Secret' stamp creating a fun, play like feel.
The introduction to the interview is written much bigger than the actual interview itself . This made it more eye catching and so it was the first thing the readers would read. The font used was the common font, Segoe UI, which is present throughout the magazine. I added a stroke effect to the writing to make it stand out. The extreme close up of Lulu beside the introduction is very eye catching and feels as though Lulu is looking directly at us, the readers, subconsciously inviting us in to read her interview. The heading 'Lulu' is written in the font Vladimir Script and I added a shadow to this to make it appear more three dimensional. The sub heading 'how the spark turned to fire'has been edited in such a way that it looks as though the words are sparklers and are fuzzing. I added a drop shadow, inner shadow and an outer glow and I also embossed the words. This was a good technique as it was consistent with the title and the sub heading of the feature.
To make the magazine look more professional, I included an personal website for Lulu and designed her own logo. I essentially just used different fonts, different font sizes and colours and from the brush tool, I put a blue star in to connote stardom!
The large quotations from the interview was done solely by enlarging the font and adding a black stroke to make the letters stand out.
The pictures I used were all very playful, and appealing and attracted the target audience my magazine was aimed at. Lulu looked very stereotypically pretty and young girls are often drawn to this. Her clothes are funky and fresh and she fits in with the modern idea of a 'cool' female teenager.
On the right hand side of the feature, to add to the realism, I included a contact address and at the bottom of the page, I invented a 'hot' email address. This technique allow the readers to connect to the magazine and actually take part in the making of it.
