Task 6 - Progress #3

In this session I focused on the completion of my contents page, to make my contents look better I made the following changes:

• Made the masthead transparent 
• Added a 'winter 2016 MOBO edition' underneath masthead
• minor relocation of CONTENTS header 
• individualised each box for the numbers, allowing them to align more effectively with the corresponding content
• added a brief description of each component within the magazine.
• Removed the 'skepta comes back into the scene...' bar at the bottom, I felt this would belong in a front cover rather than a contents page. 
• Changed the main feature from 'Dave' to 'AJ Tracey', this is because I was able to find content which is much more applicable to my magazine using AJ Tracey as an inspiration for my double page spread and not Dave.

For my double-page spread task, I was able to find a suitable picture from a current known UK rap artist, AJ Tracey. This makes it easier for me to be able to make my models look more stereotypical (in terms of UK rap culture)

I have chosen this image as it is very easy to replicate with my actual model, football pitches are very accessible areas and can produce a very nice image for a double page spread.
the components of the image are simple and clear, there is also alot of space provided for any text or any additional images.
At this point, I have only planned which parts I will include as text. I think an image of his new album being placed in the top right corner of the spread will be ideal because it will be one of the main topics of discussion found within the interview, raising awareness of a new album is a known characteristic of most rap magazines.
