Double-Page spread

The image in this draft needs to be enhanced and the colours need to stand out more and pop to also keep inline with the brighter colours that will be featured on the front cover. Also a page number needs to be added as this article which will be featured on the front cover, and it will be highlighted in the contents page and the numbers need to match accordingly to help the audience navigate through the magazine. Also more information needs to be added to the fourth paragraph as it is a little shorter than the rest of the paragraphs and makes the page look empty as it is on a white background and this is not intended space. They eye is naturally drawn to this empty spacing especially because it is white and contrasting to the image on the right hand side. Also paragraphs 1 + 3 are a lot more narrow which makes the page look heavier on the once side.

I feel I will keep the background with the white because I feel that it looks crisp against the earthy coloured background of the image. This gives a more professional feel and most of the magazines in the genre of Opera tend to use a white background on which to put the text. I feel that the key items in the page have been placed correctly as they eye will naturally scan a page in a 'Z' shape, so firstly the audience will see the quote, then the title of the article and finally down to the dress which is a key concept of the image.
